May 2025: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Newark Mayor Ras Baraka released after being arrested while protesting ICE detention facility he vowed to shut down

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka released after being arrested while protesting ICE detention facility he vowed to shut down
"Newark Mayor and New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka was released Friday night after being collared at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility that opened Tuesday — and which he has vowed to shut down.
Video posted to X at just after 3 p.m. by a News 12 New Jersey reporter showed Baraka, with his hands cuffed behind his back, being led away from the detention center by a Homeland Security Investigations officer.
Baraka “committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon,” Alina Habba, the US Attorney for the District of New Jersey wrote on X five minutes later.
He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody,” Habba posted, adding “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.”
