"Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week, a federal prosecutor said.
"Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka committed trespass and ignored warnings from #HomelandSecurity personnel to leave #DelaneyHall, a detention facility run by private prison operator #GeoGroup.

"Video shows the mayor standing on the public side of the gate
"In video of the altercation shared with The Associated Press, a federal official in a jacket with the logo of the Homeland Security Investigations can be heard telling Baraka he could not join a tour of the facility because 'you are not a congress member.'
"Baraka then left the secure area, rejoining protesters on the public side of the gate. Video showed him speaking through the gate to a man in a suit, who said: 'They’re talking about coming back to arrest you.'
" 'I’m not on their property. They can’t come out on the street and arrest me,' Baraka replied."

News of ICE expansion in Newark, NJ is a reminder of the need for a combative, mass movement committed to fighting ICE with a perspective of class independence, unity in action, and the widest democracy possible.

These images don’t quite do it justice, but the sky in the #NYC area was a pallid, apocalyptic yellow today. Smoke from the #Canadian #wildfires has been carried south (apparently even as far as Virginia) and parts of the city smell like a campfire. I can’t even imagine what it’s like in #Ontario and #Quebec.
