Newark Mayor Condemns ICE Raids Amid Controversy Over Warrantless Actions
In Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka has condemned a recent ICE raid at a local seafood market, characterizing it as unconstitutional and an egregious violation of American rights. According to Baraka, the ICE agents conducted the operation without a warrant, unlawfully detaining undocumented workers, including citizens and a military veteran. The raid is part of a broader escalation of immigration enforcement in the region, raising concerns among local officials and residents. New Jersey senators have expressed deep concern, and Baraka has accused ICE of racial profiling, asserting that Newark will not stand idly by in the face of such actions. Community leaders are rallying against what they see as an unlawful terror tactic against their residents.
