Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for alleged trespassing during a protest at Delaney Hall, an ICE facility in New Jersey, where he was joined by Congress members Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez. The DHS claims the confrontation escalated due to a failure to de-escalate by ICE officials, resulting in Baraka's arrest. Congress members assert they were performing their oversight duties and reject allegations of assault against ICE agents. New threats of further arrests have emerged, intensifying political fallout related to the controversy surrounding ICE operations and immigrant detention policies.
