Several posts on X made by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) referencing a May incident at the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in New Jersey, in which U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver was charged with assaulting federal immigration officers, have been removed following an order from Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) was charged in May with assaulting federal immigration officers during a congressional visit to the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark.

McIver has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted.

McIver argued that the charges violate the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause and are politically motivated, though she was seen on video physically pushing and striking a federal ICE agent.

After the May incident, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued several statements and social media posts criticizing Rep. McIver and other Democratic lawmakers who visited the Delaney Hall facility that day.

In response, McIver’s legal team filed a motion seeking to prohibit the government from making what they described as “extrajudicial statements” that could prejudice the ongoing legal proceedings, according to the New Jersey Globe. The motion cited eight posts on X and one official press release as examples,As of this afternoon, the posts referenced in Defense Exhibits N through U have been removed,” U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche noted in a legal filing dated October 30, Newsweek reported. “The post referenced in Defense Exhibit V, however, remains available on X.com, as it appears to be controlled by a journalist and private citizen, and the Government lacks the authority to remove the post.”
