A Democratic lawmaker from New Jersey may be about to get hit with criminal charges. 

This, according to the New Jersey Globe, follows the recent incident that took place at Delaney Hall.

The lawmaker is U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ). She, however, is not alone.

U.S. Reps. Robert Menendez Jr. (D-NJ) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) may also be facing criminal charges, according to Fox News.

Background

This all follows a fight that broke out a Delaney Hall, after Democrats attempted to provide "oversight" of the Trump administration's illegal immigrant detention center.

The New Jersey Globe reports:

Partway through the visit, Baraka was arrested by federal authorities; they claimed he was trespassing, while he maintained that he had followed their directions and left when they instructed him to. Baraka’s arrest prompted a scuffle among the three representatives, ICE agents, and a group of protesters who had gathered at Delaney Hall’s gate; both sides have claimed that the other was the aggressor in the fight, which seems to have caused no reported injuries.

Baraka is the mayor of Newark. He is facing federal charges for his actions, and he has already made his first court appearance.

The Globe continues:

Video footage shows the fight to have been a general scramble. McIver in particular forcefully attempted to protect Baraka both physically and verbally as he was led away, which may be the basis for charges against her, though claims from some Republicans that she body-slammed or punched ICE officers are more dubious based on the footage available. (Menendez and the 80-year-old Watson Coleman were also involved in the melee, but there’s less video evidence of them physically engaging with agents, perhaps explaining the Justice Department’s focus on McIver.)

Now, all three of these representatives could be facing charges of their own.

Arrests forthcoming?

According to Fox, it was told "that arrests could be in the offing for" McIver, Menendez, and Coleman.

At the time of this writing, these arrests have still not occurred.

Homeland Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin released a statement, saying:

I think that arrests are still on the table for this. If it was a typical U.S. citizen and they tried to storm into a detention facility that's housing dangerous criminals or any person at all, they would be arrested. Just because you are a Member of Congress or just because you're a public official does not mean you are above the law.

That is a fairly strong point. A typical U.S. citizen would have already been arrested a long time ago.

We'll just have to see how the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) decides to handle this one.
