Clergy and activists clashed with police at an ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, where Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for allegedly trespassing while protesting against immigration policies. Following his arrest, which sparked outrage among Democrats and activists, Baraka faced potential charges that could affect his candidacy in the state’s Democratic primary for governor. The incident has prompted warnings from federal officials regarding further arrests of lawmakers involved in the protest, escalating tensions between state Democrats and the Trump administration. While Baraka was released after a brief detention, the fallout from the protest raises significant concerns about the treatment of immigrants and the actions of federal authorities.
