McIver Moves For Appeal To Be Heard En Banc By Third Circuit, Refuses to Back Down | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: Rep. McIver asserts that members of Congress have a right to conduct oversight of ICE and DHS facilities, and opposes the federal charges brought against her arising from her May 2025 inspection of Delaney Hall, calling them baseless and intimidation. She is seeking en banc review by the Third Circuit.

NEWARK, NJ – Today, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) and her legal counsel filed a brief requesting that the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit hear her case en banc. The appeal highlights major constitutional problems with the charges the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) brought against McIver arising out of her May 2025 oversight inspection of Delaney Hall, ICE detention facility in her district. This move for hearing en banc comes after a divided panel of three Third Circuit judges refused to dismiss the case against McIver in August. By appealing, McIver continues her fight to protect her constitutional and statutory authority to oversee ICE, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the rest of the executive branch. The full text of the brief can be found here. “As I have said since last May, oversight is my job. I am pursuing this step in no small part because every single day since last May, we have seen only more terror surrounding Delaney Hall—from brutality outside of its gates to retribution behind its walls and horror stories from the detainees I’ve spoken with on my many visits. What’s happening here and in ICE facilities nationwide only further proves why members of Congress need to be able to do this critical oversight work to protect people—work that Trump’s administration wants to stop by locking me in prison for 17 years,” said McIver. “Members of Congress have a right to do oversight even, and especially, when the administration does not like what they find. I will fight like hell to protect that right. I will continue to oppose these baseless charges and this intimidation, and I will keep doing my job, not without fear, but in spite of it.” Paul J. Fishman, counsel to McIver, added context about the stakes of the case and the court’s August ruling on the same issues. “This case is about whether the Executive Branch can interfere with and try to intimidate members of Congress who are doing the oversight the Constitution requires of them. Congresswoman McIver has been incredibly brave in taking on a fight against an administration that targeted lawmakers and others for speaking out when they see abuses,” said Fishman. “The executive branch should not and cannot be allowed to use its power over criminal prosecutions to retaliate against those it would like to silence.” The charges against McIver stem from an oversight visit she conducted at Delaney Hall, a controversial ICE detention center in her district, in May, 2025. She is the only member of Congress under indictment by the Trump DOJ for performing constitutionally protected oversight of ICE and, if convicted, faces up to 17 years in federal prison.

It’s a Girl! Rep. McIver Gives Birth To Her Second Child, A Symbol Of Hope For Her Family | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release states support for maternal healthcare and reproductive rights, and for proxy voting for new parents in Congress.

NEWARK, NJ – Today, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) announced the birth of her second child, a healthy baby girl. She released the following statement: “Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply grateful to welcome this beautiful, healthy baby into the world,” said McIver. “There really aren’t words to describe how blessed my family feels to welcome a new life into the world. Getting the chance to raise a family is a priority and a delight for me, something I hope everyone who wants to, gets the chance to do. Bringing a child into the world is a reminder not only of why we fight for maternal healthcare and reproductive rights, but of why we fight for the rights and freedoms of our most vulnerable– they are someone’s babies too.” McIver is only the fifteenth-ever member of Congress to give birth while serving. She also has a ten-year-old daughter and is one of only a small group of women serving in Congress with school-aged children. She has shared her tumultuous reproductive health journey, including her battle with uterine fibroids, which required multiple surgeries. One such surgery had her in New Jersey in the morning and rushing to Washington, D.C., that same night to make it in time to vote on the House floor. These experiences have bolstered her deep commitment to advocating for women’s reproductive rights, and strong reproductive and maternal healthcare for all. McIver is also in the middle of a legal battle, facing 17 years in federal prison from charges brought by the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ). The charges stem from a lawfully authorized oversight visit McIver conducted at Delaney Hall, the controversial immigration detention center in her district. The case is ongoing. McIver is a strong supporter of the recent push for proxy voting for new parents, as she will not be granted any paid maternity leave from Congress. She will take the month of October to heal, be with her family, and bond with her new child. She plans to return to voting in November.

McIver Introduces Bill To Support Veteran-Owned Small Businesses | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release supports a bill requiring the Small Business Administration's Office of Veteran Business Development to establish procedures to comply with reporting requirements on veteran-owned small businesses and to report on ways to improve their access to federal contracting and programs.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) introduced the Ensuring SBA Implementation of GAO Recommendations Act of 2026. This bill would require the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Veteran Business Development (OVBD) to establish procedures to comply with existing reporting requirements on veteran-owned small businesses. The bill would strengthen SBA support for veteran entrepreneurs by requiring the SBA to report on ways to improve veteran-owned small businesses' access in areas such as federal contracting and programing. “This bill does the important work of supporting veteran entrepreneurs in creating, maintaining, and growing their businesses,” said McIver. “Veterans are essential members of our communities and their work deserves to be lifted. Making sure the proper procedures are in place to support them allows for our small businesses and communities to thrive.” Currently, the SBA provides entrepreneurial training and education through Veterans Business Outreach Centers (VBOCs). However, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the SBA lacked procedures for submitting the required annual report on veteran-owned small businesses and had not complied in recent years. By developing procedures to ensure compliance with reporting requirements, the SBA and Congress will have better information to serve America’s hardworking veteran-owned businesses. The full text of the Ensuring SBA Implementation of GAO Recommendations Act of 2026 can be found here.

ICYMI: Sophia Bush interviews McIver on Oversight, Newark, and Being A Pregnant Mother In Congress | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release describes Rep. McIver's position that she is performing legitimate congressional oversight at Delaney Hall and that immigrants detained there deserve protection, and it characterizes her prosecution by the Trump DOJ as an effort to punish her for doing her job.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In case you missed it, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver sat down with Sophia Bush on her podcast, Work In Progress, to do a deep dive into McIver’s journey to Congress and experience being prosecuted by the Trump DOJ for doing her job. The two hit it off, bonding over the importance of female role models, McIver’s path to service, and what drives her to keep fighting. Watch the full conversation here. Excerpts of their conversation are below. McIver on how she first became interested in public service “My 10-year-old self seeing me now as a congresswoman would be like, ‘what in the heck? This girl is a cCongresswoman?’ I would have never put my finest dollar on that. So it's just a shocker, and it's something that I definitely didn't dream of wanting to do. “When I learned about community and being civically engaged, that became my everything… I started passing out flyers and telling people ‘get out and vote’ on election day. Something about that made me feel really good about myself, and it made me want to be a better young person.” McIver on what it feels like to be prosecuted by Trump DOJ “Just the stress of knowing that these people, a Stephen Miller, a Donald Trump, a Todd Blanche, would want nothing more but to see me in handcuffs, serving time. That would delight them… It saddens me to know that I'm someone who has done nothing wrong, right? I showed up to do my job and these people want to put me behind bars.” McIver Black women standing in the gaps “I'm a Black woman who came to [Delaney Hall] to express the power– not the power that I gave myself, but the power that the people of the 10th congressional district of New Jersey gave me– and do oversight. “Black women have always stood in the gaps. I'm standing on the shoulders of many who stood in the gaps for many different issues… I had to stand in the gap on behalf of my constituents and immigrants who are being detained … My duty is to stand up for people and to protect them, and I would do it on any issue, on all issues, because that is what I am here for.” McIver on finding strength in her community “The people I represent– they have been so strong. Everywhere I go, they have lifted me up, given me a hug. People don’t understand how lifting that is, to say ‘we’ve got your back. You call us, you rally the call, and we’re there.’” “I think about my journey all together… what I want to leave behind. What is my legacy of all of this? I want to be known as someone who fought for things that were right for people on all fronts… I want [my children] to know that their mom was a fighter for good. “I knew when I was [growing] up I wanted the best for people, no matter where they are. That is why I do what I do. And I am going to continue doing that until there is no more breath in my body.” Listen to the full episode here. Last week, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals refused to dismiss McIver’s case. McIver and her legal team are currently exploring all options for moving the case forward. McIver is running for re-election and is eight months pregnant. For additional information on the upcoming developments in McIver’s case, please contact Hanna.Rumsey@mail.house.gov.

What They’re Saying: Responses to the Third Circuit’s Refusal to Dismiss U.S. v. McIver | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release opposes the Third Circuit's refusal to dismiss the federal case against Rep. LaMonica McIver and argues the prosecution is politically motivated and an attack on congressional oversight of immigration detention centers.

“A brazen and unlawful abuse of power, and a direct attack on congressional oversight” WASHINGTON, DC — On Wednesday, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals threw out Congresswoman LaMonica McIver’s (NJ-10) motion to dismiss her case, U.S. v. McIver. Since the news broke, McIver has received a groundswell of support for the case which she said in a Wednesday statement is “not over.” One thing is clear: The case against McIver is not only baseless, but it poses a threat to democracy. The people are talking and they’re not happy about this outcome. Here’s what they’re saying. “Donald Trump wants Congressmembers to fall in line & not conduct oversight of detention centers. And he wants to make an example out of @RepLaMonica. But we’re not letting up.” (Rep. Ayanna Pressley) “Criminalizing oversight deters lawmakers from holding Trump accountable—even if Democrats take back Congress. LaMonica is strong and won’t be intimidated, but the continued attacks on her for doing her job is dangerous to our democracy.” (Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman) “Trump weaponizing the Department of Justice to target members of Congress simply for doing their jobs is straight out of his corruption playbook. It’s a brazen and unlawful abuse of power, and a direct attack on congressional oversight.” (Gov. Mikie Sherrill) “Between going to doctor’s appointments, attending congressional hearings, serving her constituents, meeting with her lawyers, raising money for her defense and continuing to keep a spotlight on the treatment of immigrants in detention, McIver isn’t just fighting for her seat — she’s fighting for her freedom.” (Errin Haines, The 19th) “McIver faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted in the case. She argued that the charges brought against her were for political reasons, citing numerous statements by the Trump Administration, President Trump himself and former prosecutor Alina Habba, who initially brought federal charges against McIver before leaving her position and becoming an aide in the administration.” (Brandon Caldwell, TheGrio) What advocacy groups are saying: “One of the more troubling features of the current administration is its apparent penchant for prosecuting perceived political adversaries of the President. The prosecution of Congresswoman McIver bears the hallmarks of just such a prosecution.” (Washington Litigation Group) “Today’s decision is a grave miscarriage of justice… What is happening to Rep. McIver is no accident: it is an intimidation tactic aimed at silencing a sitting member of Congress who stood up to protect her community members from human rights violations.” (Fatima Goss Graves, NWLC) “Weaponizing the DOJ to target a sitting Member of Congress undermines our system of checks and balances and threatens our democracy.” (Amol Sinha, ACLU NJ) “The Trump administration is using LaMonica McIver as an example. It is a message to all lawmakers– if you stand up to ICE, if you fight back, we’ll come after you. Rep. McIver is showing us what fighting back looks like. Despite a split appeals court declining to drop the case, she is standing strong against these politically motivated charges… We stand with her 100%” (Vote Mama) McIver and her legal team are currently exploring all options for moving the case forward. Those options include but are not limited to asking for the case to be heard en banc by the Third Circuit or by the U.S. Supreme Court. McIver is running for re-election and is eight months pregnant.

ICYMI: McIver and Counsel Paul Fishman Press Call Debriefing Court’s Refusal To Dismiss U.S. v. McIver Case | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release states that the Third Circuit's refusal to dismiss U.S. v. McIver threatens separation of powers and would set a precedent for executive branch overreach and ICE impunity. Representative McIver and her counsel argue the prosecution is intended to deter members of Congress from conducting oversight of the executive branch.

NEWARK, NJ – Today, on a briefing call, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) and her counsel, Paul Fishman, broke down Wednesday's Third Circuit decision to not dismiss U.S. v. McIver. The decision carries troubling legal and political implications that threaten separation of powers. McIver and Fishman discussed the complex ruling— the Court ruled to not dismiss the case on two counts and ruled to vacate and remand the third count— the next steps from the court and the legal team, and the broader implications and consequences of the case for democracy. The case, if not dismissed, would set a precedent for extreme ICE impunity, executive branch overreach, and weaponization of the DOJ. Below are excerpts from the briefing. Fishman on the stakes of the case “Let me make something clear. We are not afraid to try this case, and if we try this case…we will win that trial. “This is a fight for Congresswoman McIver and every other member of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate who could be targeted by this administration for speaking out, for conducting oversight of the executive branch… [The case is] designed both to chill her and to chill the other members who want to engage in…the same kind of conduct and hold the executive branch responsible for what they're doing.” McIver on defending and serving her district “Making sure that my duties as a member representing the 10th district doesn't fall short at all is something that I was very adamant about when [the Trump administration] charged me. I think that's what they hoped for, that it would cripple me in doing my job… But we’ve delivered thousands of dollars in casework and continue to show up on so many different fronts. “I'm super just grateful for the support I have in my district… That was the reason that took me to Delaney in the first place. The response that I was getting from my community about the things that they heard and saw happening… So I'm going to continue to… show up for them, and protect them, and fight for them because that's what they elected me to do.” For additional information on the upcoming developments in McIver’s case, please contact Hanna.Rumsey@mail.house.gov.

RULING: Third Circuit Declines to Dismiss U.S. v. McIver, McIver Remains Steadfast | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: Rep. McIver states that the Third Circuit's decision not to dismiss the federal prosecution against her is wrong, arguing that members of Congress must be able to conduct oversight of the executive branch without fear of retaliation, and that the prosecution is selective and vindictive.

NEWARK, NJ – Today, a divided panel of judges for the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit largely sided with a New Jersey district court and refused to dismiss the Trump administration’s case against Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10). McIver and her counsel have argued that the Constitution prohibits her prosecution because she is immune for acts related to her duties as a member of Congress and because the Department of Justice’s decision to charge her was selective and vindictive. McIver is the only member of Congress under indictment by the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ). If convicted, she faces up to 17 years in prison. “I fundamentally believe that the court got it wrong here. To protect the people, their elected representatives must be authorized to conduct oversight of the executive branch without fear of retaliation,” said McIver. “Today’s decision chills that authority and emboldens the Trump administration to continue persecuting our most vulnerable communities, those who try to defend them, and anyone who dares hold the president or his lackeys accountable. I will not fold to this administration. We are exploring every possible option. The administration will not stop me from doing my job or standing for what is right. This is not over.” In a dissenting opinion to the Third Circuit’s decision, Judge Thomas L. Ambro wrote: “The Constitution does not permit the Executive to wield its considerable discretion over criminal prosecutions in retaliation against disfavored legislators...the majority’s comparison misses a step. When an Executive Branch official prevents a Member from entering a DHS facility, she is denied effective access to an oversight inspection.” Paul J. Fishman, McIver’s attorney, issued the following statement: “While the court clearly gave our arguments thoughtful consideration, we are disappointed by and disagree with the decision. As we argued before the court, it is too dangerous if the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security are able to thwart members of Congress from inspecting an ICE detention facility, create chaos, and then prosecute those members and pretend it was their fault. The goal of the administration is clear: chill members of Congress from overseeing the actions of the Trump administration. As Judge Ambro noted in his dissenting opinion, ‘the Constitution does not permit the Executive to wield its considerable discretion over criminal prosecutions in retaliation against disfavored legislators.’ We agree and are evaluating all possible next steps.” Hanna Rumsey, a spokesperson for McIver, added: “Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is innocent and we are confident that any jury will agree. But there should never have been an indictment at all, much less a trial. Congresswoman McIver was doing her job at Delaney Hall, and for that she has been targeted, burdened with wildly expensive and time-consuming litigation, and is facing the threat of 17 years in prison. The administration is using criminal charges to go after political opponents who dare conduct oversight of their activities—that is what was at stake in this appeal. Congresswoman McIver was first, but she will not be the last, and these protections are more critical than ever.” The Third Circuit heard oral argument on the motions made by McIver and her defense team on June 24, 2026. The charges stem from a confrontation, instigated by the Department of Homeland Security, at the controversial Newark detention center Delaney Hall. McIver had been conducting legally authorized and protected oversight of the facility and thus should be protected by legislative immunity prerogatives from persecution.

McIver Statement on Report of Latest Death at Delaney Hall | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release calls for shutting down the Delaney Hall detention facility and abolishing ICE, describing conditions there as a pattern of abuse and neglect following reports of a detainee death.

NEWARK, N.J. – Amid reports that another detainee has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) released the following statement: “Reports that another person has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall are heartbreaking and deeply disturbing—but tragically, they’re not unexpected. This is a pattern of abuse and neglect. “I know about Delaney Hall and I know that cruelty is at its core. Even after the deaths, violence, abuse, and mistreatment of those inside, Republican leaders, even in our own state, deny the truth and refuse to act. Anyone who doesn’t see these heinous acts for what they are is choosing to do so. “I am praying for the deceased and his family, and I will keep working to shut down Delaney Hall and abolish ICE before more innocent lives are lost.” In December 2025, another detainee died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall. The facility sits within McIver’s district, and is at the center of the Trump administration’s case against her. McIver faces 17 years in prison after ICE escalated a routine oversight visit in May, 2025, leading to baseless federal charges from the Trump DOJ. The case is ongoing.

McIver Attends Hearing Rife with Republican Lies About Delaney Hall | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release criticizes conditions at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center, describing them as cruel and inhumane, and disputes Republican characterizations of the facility at a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing. It also characterizes the federal charges against the Representative as baseless.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) attended a hearing held by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, titled "False Narratives Surrounding Conditions at the Delaney Hall ICE Detention Center." The hearing was chaired by Republican extremist Rep. Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02). Delaney Hall sits in the heart of McIver’s district and is the center of the federal case the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) is bringing against her for conducting legally authorized oversight. Claims from Van Drew and Republicans that Democrats like McIver are pushing a false narrative about the facility completely ignore firsthand accounts from lawmakers, advocates, and detainees who describe unsafe conditions, rotten food, and brutality from guards at the facility. “If Jeff Van Drew’s lips are moving, he’s lying. Delaney Hall is in my district; I have visited many times, often in response to reports of neglect and abuse. What I have seen there is cruel and inhumane. It’s disgusting that Van Drew was trying to paper over the facts in his hearing,” said McIver. “Everything about Delaney makes it obvious: for the Trump administration, the cruelty is the point. They are holding high schoolers, pregnant women, and sick folks in conditions so brutal that even detainees with legal status elect to self-deport simply to escape the suffering. The lies in today’s hearing from Republicans with no firsthand knowledge were as outrageous as they were offensive—just a clown car of Trump loyalists putting political allegiance over the lives and dignity of human beings." The first ICE detention center opened in Trump’s second term, Delaney Hall’s corporate owners lacked municipal permits and refused inspections. In December of 2025, a detainee died in ICE custody after being held at Delaney for less than 24 hours, calling into question the conditions in the facility. In recent months, detainees went on a hunger strike to protest conditions they described as torture. Denial of basic medical care, unsafe drinking water, violence, rotten food, and indefinite detention without due process were all reported by detainees at Delaney Hall. Earlier this year, McIver was able to facilitate the release of a high schooler who was unjustly detained at the facility. Consistently a flashpoint for controversy, Delaney Hall is at the center of the Trump administration’s baseless case against McIver, stemming from an oversight visit she conducted in May, 2025. The oversight visit, which should have been routine, was escalated by ICE, leading to the Trump administration bringing federal charges against McIver. She now faces up to 17 years in prison. The case is ongoing.

McIver Introduces Bill to Strengthen Small Business Development Centers | U.S. House Representative LaMonica McIver

Position: The release supports introducing legislation to reauthorize the Small Business Development Center Program at up to $175 million annually through FY2029 and opposes the administration's proposal to eliminate the program in its FY2027 budget.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) introduced the Small Business Development Centers Improvement Act of 2026. The bill will make sure entrepreneurs and small business owners have access to tools that make starting and strengthening their businesses possible. Specifically, the bill would reauthorize the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Program at up to $175 million annually through FY2029 while strengthening the program and expanding access to free business counseling and technical assistance. This legislation is urgently needed as the Trump Administration has once again targeted the SBDC Program for elimination in its FY2027 budget. McIver’s legislation would keep the administration from gutting a program that has, for decades, helped working people, especially low-income, minority, and female entrepreneurs, build businesses, create jobs, and contribute to local economies. “This bill is about standing up for working people. Small businesses are the bedrock of our communities, and the tools that help them thrive are being threatened by Trump. We need legislation to protect working people, and the small businesses that let them accumulate wealth, from the administration’s constant attacks,” said Rep. McIver. “The SBDC Program is a proven resource and eliminating it will disproportionately harm the most vulnerable entrepreneurs and strip our communities of the establishments that make them special.” The SBDC Program stands as one of the most effective tools the Small Business Administration (SBA) has to level the playing field for entrepreneurs and small business owners. In New Jersey, the SBDC at Rutgers University is a critical resource for countless businesses, including those in the 10th Congressional District. The Program’s work helping people start businesses, secure capital, and create jobs, is now under threat from an administration that wants to see these resources disappear. The Small Business Development Centers Improvement Act of 2026 would: Reauthorize the SBDC Program at up to $175 million annually through FY2029. Allow SBDCs to use a small portion of their funding to better advertise their services so more entrepreneurs know help is available. Improve how the SBA measures and reports the program's impact.Reduce unnecessary administrative burdens on SBDCs. Strengthen privacy protections for small business owners receiving assistance. Increase transparency and congressional oversight of SBA entrepreneurial development programs. The legislation builds on bipartisan efforts from previous Congresses to modernize and strengthen the SBDC network while ensuring these critical services remain available to entrepreneurs and small businesses across the country. The full text of the Small Business Development Centers Improvement Act of 2026 can be found here.
