Representative LaMonica McIver, the member of Congress who represents north-central New Jersey, including Newark, made her first appearance before a judge virtually late Wednesday morning.

McIver allegedly assaulted and impeded a law enforcement officer during a protest at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Newark earlier this month.
