DANA BASH, CNN: Congresswoman McIver, I want to go back to some of the footage. We were looking at some. And I want our viewers to see that you are the woman in the red blazer as we show them. The DHS says that — obviously, that there were chaos, that maybe you were trespassing. You can talk about that. But the DHS also says that, in their words, you were body-slamming an ICE officer. Is that what we’re looking at? Is that what happened? REP. LAMONICA MCIVER (D-NJ): Absolutely no. I mean, I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone. There’s no video that supports me body- slamming anyone. We — as Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman said, we were simply there to do our job, there for an oversight visit. And what you’re watching in a video — and we don’t have all of the bodycam and we hope that all of the bodycam is released. It was a very tense situation. It unfortunately did not have to be like that. They created that confrontation. They created that chaos and then ultimately went to arrest the mayor of the largest city of New Jersey, who is my mayor and my constituent? And it was very difficult to watch that happen. But, absolutely, I did not body-slam anyone.
