Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver is urging a judge to dismiss the federal charges against her following a scuffle with immigration officers — and using the dismissed cases of the Jan. 6 rioters as the basis for her argument.

Congress, with violating the same federal assault statute” as over 160 Jan. 6 rioters whose charges were dismissed, McIver’s attorneys wrote in a court document filed over the weekend. “But the similarity ends there.”
