Congresswoman Gwen Moore Statement on Congresswoman LaMonica McIver

“The Trump Administration continues to weaponize the justice system to score political points and intimidate others. As members of Congress, it is part of our duty to conduct oversight of the executive branch. My colleague was performing this work when she visited an immigration detention center in her district.

These charges are baseless, and I stand in support of my colleague and look forward to when she can defend herself.”
