Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week. He was released hours later and told supporters: “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Why are you still reporting that he went there to protest? He was not there to protest. He was there to do his job which was to make sure the place had all the inspection and legalities to operate.
Nothing lasts forever, especially fascist pigs, and they know it. The payback for all this shit is going to be biblical. When you worship the golden calf, you get what you deserve
First, they came for the “journalists” at AP, but nobody cared, because they were responsible for the propaganda that lead to their going to the death camps…
"arrested" on public ground under the pretense of tresspassing...not by law men like police but by masked ICE-"Agents" - if you protest in front of a prison, do the prison guards now have the right to put you in it?
Both the detention center in Louisiana where the Tufts student was illegally held and this one in Newark where ICE arrested the mayor are run by the GEO Group, who are making billions of dollars in government contracts from this administration.
STOP TRUMP NOW! WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO! Everyone is concerned about going by the law to stop Trump. Everything Trump does is illegal. He doesn't care about the law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ALcqt6GMhM
Yeah but we don't get paid to protest ICE. It is his paid job to inspect and make sure that facility is legal. That's the context. That's the difference.
Protesting is a weird way to say doing his job as mayor. He checked its permits and the building condition and got arrested for it. Horribly written headline.
It is media’s ongoing failure to correct what amounts to misinformation. The mayor was not protesting. APs other story that stated that he “denies” trespassing suggests an alternative explanation.
The video of the mayor is readily available for all to see. He does not need to deny anything.
Stephen Miller is a paper-pushing war criminal. Kristi Noem is a dead-eyed ghoul with a gun. Tom Homan is a goon in a cheap uniform. Together, they are the face of white supremacist state violence. Jail isn’t enough. They deserve to be exiled from civilization.
Fucking ICE gestapo (and Trump thugs). THIS. MUST. END. The courts and Congress MUST grow balls and do the fucking job they were sworn to do. GESTAPO AMERICA. Sickening. Look at what this degenerate has done to this once great nation.
You shouldn't spread misinformation he wasn't there to protest he was there to help inspect the building because they didn't get the right permits and were basically building an illegal building.
He was not protesting according to the Mayor and others there. This is bad reporting. He was there for a press conference. @associatedpress.bsky.social
Tell us again how “Civil Disobedience”, and non-violent “Civil Resistance”, as well as the First Amendment Right to “Peacefully Protest” will matter AT ALL to these Anti-American, Anti-US Constitutionalist, Traitors currently in charge of the US Fed gov.
ALL government levels, ALL politicians and other Public figures SUPPORTING the current US Fed gov and these crimes, ALL the citizens supporting the current US Fed gov, are ALL criminals.
So NOW we, regardless of political party (or NO political party followers), ALL citizens, ALL militia, …
ALL legitimate US military, led by the REAL US citizens OPPOSING these guttertrash in charge of the US Fed gov and their supporters, should begin a FORMAL Revolution, led by US citizens and backed by the militia and US military. At minimum, the First and Second Amendment permits this, so DO IT!

It's where they concentrate the people they arrest before they send them to Louisiana, then El Salvador, Libya or wherever they can ''forget'' them.
Those final destinations would be work camps, death camps or slave markets, depending.
We get it- you’re a Nazi sympathizer.
The Mayor was INVITED into the SECURE FACILITY- or do you think he just teleported over to the fenced-in side?
Fucking piece of shit yellow journalism

Any vehicle trying to exit could potentially be involved in unlawful kidnapping and should be stopped and searched by local law enforcement.
Occupants should be detained.
Every ICE and other law enforcement at …
