Sherrill Condemns the Arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka Outside Delaney Hall

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill released the following statement after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested outside of the private, for-profit prison Delaney Hall:

"The scene outside of Delaney Hall today and the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is an absolute outrage. He needs to be released immediately.

“The Trump administration’s decision to reopen Delaney Hall, a private, for-profit prison to detain immigrants won’t make New Jerseyans safer, and it won’t fix our broken immigration system.”
