Bottom bit is from this local Newark Fox affiliate. When Fox turns against ICE, even at a local level, then you know ICE has fucked up. The bummer is that those little Trumpenvolk shits will just keep on stomping their jackboots wherever they think they can. All we can do is everything in our power to pierce their feet and fuck up their gears.

The idea that the mayor of a city can trespass on land in that city is nauseating.

So yeah, Newark, New Jersey's mayor has more spine than any member of the US Senate.

And ICE is going to have a hard fucking time doing goddamn anything in Newark 'because there'll be roadwork and well you know the bridge is out and the boys are workin' on the power lines, and the gas lines, and oh chief don't get me started on the sewers. So yeah that'll be a bit, but you gotta do what you gotta do, ya know. Also phone lines are down, and that ah, whatcha call it Lou, fiber cable, yeah, sharks got that, strangest damn thing.'-a foreman in hi-vis, presumably.

ICE illegally refused a congressional delegation their right to inspect the facility as part of their oversight power. ICE also saw the Mayor legally standing outside with peaceful protesters and invited him inside. Then they ordered him to leave, which he did, so they illegally arrested him outside for somehow trespassing on public property which makes zero sense. Then the Trump Administration lied about it in the media despite lots of footage backing up the accounts of the Mayor and the Congress people who saw the whole thing.

The mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, was arrested for alleged trespass at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention center in New Jersey on Friday and released after several hours.

Baraka was released shortly after 8pm and, after stepping out of an SUV with flashing emergency lights, told waiting supporters: “The reality is this: I didn’t do anything wrong.”

News of Baraka’s arrest at Delaney Hall was reported on X by Alina Habba, the acting US attorney for the district of New Jersey, and a former personal attorney and adviser to Donald Trump.

i am really not optimistic when it comes to the democratic party but it's nice sometimes when i get to vote for a candidate i actually have some amount of positive feelings about

They'll say whatever they have to in order to justify their unjust and illegal intentions. The mayor was seen on news video clearly NOT "storming" the detention center, but that's the charge they're claiming. They'll all lie to get what they want - which is a totalitarian state consisting of primary whites and as few Democrats as they can get away with.

ICE/Rep. LaMonica McIver/Mayor Ras Baraka Round Up: Published 5/21/25

The Government is claiming that LaMonica McIver standing peacefully with her back to them while they pushed her around somehow proves that she was out of control violent as one of them pushed her into another one at one point during their illegal and unjustified arrest of Ras Baraka.

Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark and one of six Democrats running to be New Jersey’s next governor, was arrested and detained by federal immigration agents Friday, according to his campaign.

This comes just over a week after the migrant jail, Delaney Hall, opened its doors as the largest detention center on the east coast. Baraka, whose city filed a lawsuit challenging whether the facility’s owner secured proper city permits before opening, has spent the week protesting outside the jail and attempting to gain entry, to no avail.

A photo taken by Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12), who was also at Delaney Hall Friday, shows a handcuffed Baraka being led away from the facility in handcuffs. It’s unclear whether he has been charged with any crime and where he is being held.

Acting U.S. Attorney of New Jersey Alina Habba said on social media that Baraka “committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center.”

“He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody,” said Habba.

Habba, a personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, said in April that she is investigating Gov. Phil Murphy and state Attorney General Matt Platkin over the state ban on local law enforcement assisting in civil immigration enforcement. Under a 2018 attorney general directive, state, county, and local cops are barred from aiding federal agencies in civil immigration arrests or providing access to state or local resources and databases.
