Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested while protesting outside the newly opened ICE detention center in Newark. His arrest occurred amid a tense standoff as he and members of Congress attempted to conduct an oversight visit at the facility. Baraka, who has been vocal against immigration policies and vowed to shut down the detention center, faced charges of trespassing following his apprehension by federal agents. After his release, he criticized the handling of the situation and called for accountability from ICE. The protest highlighted ongoing disputes over immigration enforcement practices and the conditions within detention facilities.
