Congressman Maxwell Frost Slams Trump Regime for Baseless DOJ Charges Against Rep. McIver
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement in response to the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) bringing charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) following her oversight visit to Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey where ICE agents put their hands on duly elected officials.
In a statement, Rep. Frost says:
“Donald Trump and his allies love to cry 'weaponization' when it suits them — but the moment they get the chance, they turn around and have the DOJ file baseless charges against a duly elected Member of Congress for simply carrying out her constitutional duties."
“The only thing Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is guilty of is standing up to Trump’s illegal actions and fighting back against the Administration's cruel abuses of immigrants. Looks like it's easier to charge and arrest a Black woman doing her job than the literal criminals working for Donald Trump.”
