Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) publicly condemned Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba for her decision to prosecute Rep. LaMonica McIver following her visit to an ICE detention facility. Despite the visit being a congressional oversight activity with fellow representatives, Habba charges McIver with serious offenses. Goldman highlighted the potential political motivations behind Habba's actions, suggesting they align with a troubling trend in prosecutorial conduct influenced by political agendas. He further questioned the legitimacy of pursuing an indictment in this political climate, asserting that such actions undermine the rule of law.
On international and national security issues, we should not devolve into a situation where we are prosecuting public officials for political reasons.
This case seems to inject a level of political retribution that is unacceptable in our constitutional democracy, and Alina Habba appears motivated by political agendas.
