People might find it crazy that even though I’m facing 17 years in prison, I made the decision to get pregnant. But, at the end of the day, this is something I couldn’t let be consumed by this administration. I refuse to let them take my joy or my future.

Before I shared my pregnancy with anyone I was hiding my bump (sometimes effectively and sometimes not so much). Here’s some behind the scenes of being pregnant in Congress.

Mullin can’t speak honestly about Delaney Hall if he’s never walked through its doors. People are suffering. I’ve seen it firsthand, I’ve heard from detainees. It’s brutal. So because Mullin can’t show up for his job, I made sure he heard the truth from me.

My wonderful colleagues and team threw me a baby shower last week! Their love, support, and friendship made me even more excited to welcome my baby into the world. I’m grateful to have this community by my side as I grow my family. I can’t thank them enough!

Rep. LaMonica McIver @replamonica.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Tierra Walker was a mother, daughter, friend. She deserved a chance. Republicans denied her that. This administration’s attacks on reproductive health are putting lives at risk and stripping women of their agency every day. That is why I will keep fighting for the right to choose.

19thnews.org

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton.

The case argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. constitutions. It is the first lawsuit over a death linked to an abortion ban.

I can’t put into words how evil this is. People are dying at the hands of ICE in the street, and behind the walls of detention centers, moms are losing their babies. This is why ICE oversight is necessary—to keep exposing this unimaginable cruelty. Trump needs to answer for this.

My constituents called on me to stand up to the abuse at Delaney Hall—so I did. It's my job to conduct oversight and hold the admin accountable. Who else will? Threatening me with 17 years in prison for exposing their abuse won’t work. I told @garrisonhayes.bsky.social I’m not staying silent.

The abuse at Delaney Hall is horrifying. We sounded the alarm from the beginning: ICE is cruel and relentless. ICE has killed American citizens in front of us—at Delaney alone, they’re up to 3 deaths. People are being mistreated and it’s happening all over the country. Listen to more at WURD Radio

Why am I standing up to this admin? Simple. Parents are being separated from their children by ICE, families are losing SNAP, and healthcare is being stripped away. I’m facing 17 years in prison, but I’m not scared. I will always fight for NJ-10.

Ahead of 9/11, I attended Jersey City’s Empty Sky Memorial Ceremony honoring the lives lost 25 years ago. Our nation, and families in NJ-10 and beyond, were forever changed that day. We must keep the memory of those we lost alive. May we never forget. 🕊️

Rep. Tom Kean was nowhere to be found as people were getting abused at Delaney. Rep. Van Drew was wasting our time lying about conditions. You’ll do anything but hold ICE accountable—now you’re going to sit silently by while they stick NJ with the bill.
