McIver’s case is expected to go to trial this year. By December, she had already racked up close to a million dollars in legal fees. Owing to House rules, the expenses have come out of her campaign funds, meaning that, in the months before her 2026 reëlection campaign, the money she’s raising will go almost exclusively toward her defense.
Every step is calculated by someone who knows how to fuck it up just right to not have enough legal ground to stand on, but drain resources and faith anyway
What happened during the next two hours is the subject of a pending criminal case. A group of ICE agents came out through the front gate and began arresting Baraka for trespassing. McIver and Watson Coleman tried to stand between Baraka and the agents. “You’re touching a federal official,” McIver warned them. “Don’t touch us.” The agents ignored her and pressed in. There was shoving and jostling. The government later claimed that McIver, in trying to shield Baraka, “grabbed” and “slammed” one of the agents.
Is America great again yet?
Was it ever great in the first place? The whole country is built on the backs of dead natives and immigrants.
Sure, but MTV was good for a while.
“Her face assaulted my fist”
The government ordered investigation and charges into judges who rule against them.
They can only get away with this because people don’t understand what’s important about the rule of law and about checks and balances.
They get away with it because the legal system is stacked in favor of the wealthy and connected. Most people can’t raise a million dollars in legal defense, so they just plea out immediately or suffer through a public defense attorney whose advice is inevitably “plea out, I can’t take this case to trial with my current workload”.
Liberal party leadership was very happy with this kind of justice when they were in charge, because they knew they were exempt. Only now that a fascist is running the system do they realize how even their faces aren’t exempt from the leopard.
Get a load of this fascist clown: “A third man, in a checkered blazer and a fedora, introduced himself as the warden”
She should just campaign on how her funds are going to legal battles for visiting ice detaines
