- Her federal case over an ICE facility encounter continues.

## Summary

Democrat LaMonica McIver won re-election to represent New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District, despite facing federal charges over a 2025 confrontation with immigration officers. The result gives her a second full term while her legal challenge continues.

With about a third of ballots counted, McIver had roughly 86% of the vote, compared with Republican challenger Carmen Bucco’s 13%, in the heavily Democratic district. Prosecutors accuse McIver of assaulting and interfering with federal officers during an oversight visit to an ICE detention facility; she denies wrongdoing and argues the prosecution violates lawmakers’ constitutional protections. An appeals court allowed two charges to proceed and sent a third for further review.
