Rep. LaMonica McIver will visit a New Jersey immigrant detention facility Tuesday for the first time since the Trump administration filed charges against her over a scuffle that broke out with immigration officers there earlier this year, a source familiar with the matter told NOTUS.
McIver plans to visit Delaney Hall, where a 41-year-old detainee, Jean Wilson Brutus, died earlier this month, one day after he was taken into custody by federal authorities, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.
“This incident demands immediate answers,” McIver said in a statement after ICE announced Brutus’ death. “We’ve heard about ICE detainees across the country being denied treatment and medication. I want to know exactly what happened, the circumstances of this individual’s confinement and treatment, and what care he did or did not receive.”
