Rep. LaMonica McIver’s (D-NJ) charges for allegedly assaulting law enforcement outside a federal immigration facility earlier this year will go forward, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper, an appointee of former President Joe Biden , denied McIver’s motion to dismiss the case on claims of vindictive prosecution and denied her bid to dismiss two of the three charges on claims of immunity under the Speech or Debate Clause. Semper said he would reserve ruling on the remaining count until he sees more evidence as the case develops in federal court.
