MAYOR RAS J. BARAKA’S STATEMENT ON ICE RAID ON NEWARK BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT

“Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned. This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees ‘the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures….’

“Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized. I will be holding a press conference in alliance with partners ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights. Details to come.”

  1. The divide between urban activists and the rest of state is growing bigger by the day. NJ Democrats need to be cautious and moderate their “resistance” to the Federal government or they risk losing the governorship to the GOP in the next election.

  2. If you are legally here . You have nothing to worry about.
    However if you are illegally here. The Constitution does not protect you. Only humane rights. Theses sanctuary areas are actually against Federal Government Laws.
    The citizens of the United States of America has had enough!!

  3. Patriots of Today? More like Retards of the Century. The Constitution protects all people, and all are entitled to due process under the law. ICE is a domestic terrorist organization under the control of a convicted felon who should not be at the head of government. And you will not see me mourn for and ICE or CBP personnel who end up six feet under carrying out illegal actions.
