Baraja has made fighting Trump a central part of his campaign here so both sides are probably happy now

NEW — Trump’s ICE has just arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

Alongside residents and other officials, Baraka has been protesting outside a detention facility that’s set to help Trump’s mass deportation regime.

Why aren't members of Congress making similar choices? Do you think it is fear based? Do they think civil disobedience is ineffective?

It’s because they have committed such an egregious crimes they fear that the Trump administration will expose them. It’s an old Russian tradition. Kompromat = damaging info about a politician which may be used to blackmail, exert influence, & extort the politician. This applies to the entire GOP.

Wonder what charge they’ll conjure to cover up this Contempt of Trump arrest.

My first thought on seeing his arrest was he may now have the governorship in the bag.

So was he outside? Is that trespassing?

This might have something to do with it: "As Mayor, he has implemented policies such as declaring Newark a sanctuary city, running a guaranteed income program, and expanding voting opportunities."

The first opposition leader was arrested and disappeared, temporarily(?). This isn't a campaign thing. This is a "the history books mention this as a big step towards the final fascist takeover" thing

This is the EASIEST cause in the world for Dems to ROLL with….

They have the Pope behind them.

The Dems could absolutely destroy trump on this issue.

Not the Baraka that I wish they'd try to mess with.

I guess that's the closest they're ever going to get to arresting Baraka Obama.
