Summary
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka criticized ICE agents for “raiding” a local business without a warrant, detaining several individuals, including U.S. citizens, a military veteran, and undocumented immigrants.
Baraka called the actions a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unlawful searches and seizures, and vowed Newark would not tolerate such behavior.
ICE confirmed the operation was part of an active investigation, claiming they may request IDs to verify identities during fieldwork.
I wonder what their basis for detaining people is…
They detained U.S. citizens and a military vet. Were they just detaining people because they looked like immigrants? Are they literally just detaining brown people?
I made a comment about a week ago on a post when they first said they were gonna do this asking how long it’ll take for it to go from detaining immigrants to just brown people. Guess we didn’t have to wait long, Jesus fucking Christ.
