Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, was arrested at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility while participating in a protest alongside congressional Democrats. The mayor was reportedly detained by federal agents for alleged trespassing after he attempted to enter the center, where he and other officials were conducting an oversight visit to advocate for the rights and dignity of detained immigrants. Tensions escalated during the protest, leading to a verbal altercation and Baraka being placed in handcuffs by ICE officers. Following his arrest, fellow Democratic representatives called for his immediate release, emphasizing the contentious atmosphere surrounding immigration enforcement in the region.
