Tell NJ US Attorney: Stop the Witch Hunt Against Rep. McIver

A former Trump lawyer is weaponizing the justice system against Rep. LaMonica McIver—a bold, Black progressive who refuses to stay silent.

Rep. McIver is facing outrageous federal charges over a heated exchange with an anti-immigrant Trump ally that took place when she tried to conduct oversight at an ICE facility. It's a flimsy case built to smear a rising voice for justice. If this can happen to her, it can happen to any leader who dares to fight for what’s right. That's why this attack is so chilling.

McIver stood up for justice, accountability, and democracy. Now she’s being punished for it. The DOJ should be holding white nationalist agitators accountable—not dragging progressive women of color through baseless court battles.

Tell acting NJ US Attorney Alina Habba: "End your witch hunt against Rep. LaMonica McIver and stop trying to silence dissent."

Critics are already speaking out. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. called the charges a "purely political act." Maurice Mitchell of the Working Families Party said: "This is a clear political attack on Rep. LaMonica McIver for having the courage to stand up to Trump's abuses of power."

This is about intimidation, not justice.

We must act now. Every day this case moves forward, it sends a chilling message to leaders everywhere: speak up and you could be next. We must demand acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba drop the charges and end this political witch hunt.

Add your name and demand an end to this abuse of power. Stand with Rep. McIver against political persecution.
