Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reveal that freshman Congresswoman LaMonica McIver of New Jersey’s 10th District contributed $30,000 to the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in 2025—an unusually large sum for a newly elected member of Congress. The donation comes under scrutiny as Mclver faces backlash for a violent altercation with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent outside the Newark ICE Facility. The Department of Homeland Security’s official X account labeled the incident an “assault.” Despite the controversy, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has publicly defended Mclver.
Mclver represents a deep-blue district in New Jersey and rose to prominence in 2024 after receiving key endorsements from U.S. Senator Cory Booker and Governor Phil Murphy during the Democrat primary. Both Booker and Murphy have been confronted in the past year by Loomer Unleashed over their support for open-border policies that pose national security risks.
Big Donations, Big Questions
According to FEC filings, McIver’s campaign—LAMONICA MCIVER FOR CONGRESS—donated $10,000 to the DCCC on March 12, 2025, followed by an additional $20,000 on March 21, 2025. The $30,000 total stands out when compared to contributions from other Democrat House members, such as Rep. Eric Swalwell, who has contributed just $10,000 to the DCCC this year. With McIver’s campaign reporting raising only $65,143.34 in total funds for 2025, her decision to allocate nearly half of her available resources to the DCCC has sparked speculation over whether she believed she could fundraise off of her violent confrontation with the Trump administration.
DCCC Fueled by Far-Left Operatives
The DCCC is being bankrolled by rage-fueled House Democrats, with FEC records revealing that Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett has contributed $50,000 to the organization so far this year. These contributions from far-left members of Congress are significant, given that the bulk of the DCCC’s resources are directed toward competitive House races—where Democrat candidates typically attempt to portray themselves as moderates to unseat Republicans.
Jeffries Backs McIver, Blames ICE
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has defended Rep. LaMonica McIver following her assault on an ICE agent, attempting to shift blame onto the federal agents involved. In a statement, Jeffries said, “I thank Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez, and LaMonica McIver for showing up, standing up, and speaking out today in Newark, along with Mayor Ras Baraka… The masked agents who physically accosted two Congresswomen must be identified immediately and any trumped-up charges against Mayor Baraka dropped.”
Jeffries’ defense of McIver—alongside his ongoing refusal to condemn other violent members of his caucus, such as Rep. Jasmine Crockett—raises serious questions about the House Democrats’ official stance on political violence.
Booker and Murphy Are America Last
McIver’s political rise was fueled by endorsements from prominent New Jersey Democrats, including U.S. Senator Cory Booker and Governor Phil Murphy, ahead of her 2024 primary victory. Both Booker and Murphy have faced scrutiny from Loomer Unleashed for their immigration policy positions. During Kash Patel’s FBI confirmation hearings last winter, Booker dodged questions from Loomer Unleashed regarding his support for policies widely viewed as favoring open borders—which many of his critics argued played a role in his vote against Patel’s nomination.
Murphy Believes American Homeowners Should Stash Undocumented Immigrants Above Their Garages
Similarly, Democrat New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has blurred the lines between personal generosity and his support for open-border policies. Last winter, Murphy stated, “I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there’s someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to. And we said, ‘you know what? Let’s let her live in our house above our garage.’” Murphy declined to respond to follow-up questions from Loomer Unleashed about the illegal undocumented foreigner living in his garage, further fueling conservative criticism of his party’s approach to immigration.
McIver’s Rise Exposes the Radical Takeover
McIver’s rapid rise in the Democrat Party is further evidence that the radical left has seized full control of the Democrat Party. There is no such thing as a “moderate” in Hakeem Jeffries’ House Democrat caucus, and voters should keep that in mind when they vote during the 2026 midterm elections.
