The Trump administration recently warned three Democratic lawmakers about potential arrests following their participation in a protest at an ICE facility in Newark. Department of Homeland Security officials stated that body camera footage captures Congress members allegedly assaulting an ICE officer. New Jersey's US Attorney confirmed the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for trespass during the protest. Despite the charges, Baraka claims he was not warned by any officials to leave the premises, suggesting that the situation escalated unnecessarily and highlighting tensions between local and federal authorities.
"There will likely be more arrests coming. We actually have body camera footage of some of these members of Congress assaulting our ICE enforcement officers, including body slamming a female ICE officer."
"He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW."
