I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Alina Habba confirms NEWARK’s Mayor Ras Baraka was just arrested while protesting the ICE raids at a detention facility. @RobMenendez4NJ: “When they say they’re going after criminals, it’s not true.”

As an elected officials with residents in that facility, Mayor Ras Baraka should never have been treated as a criminal and Members of Congress should never have been treated roughly. If they would treat elected leaders this way, how do you think they would treat regular folks?

As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.

The mayor of Newark was arrested today while protesting at a federal immigration detention center operated by GEO Group — a private prison company and major Trump donor. Kudos to Ras Baraka for standing up to this authoritarian regime.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.
