Federal officers arrested Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka at an immigration detention center in his city on Friday for alleged trespassing, before releasing him later that evening.
Baraka has been vehemently opposed to the opening of Delaney Hall, a new 1,000-bed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Newark. The city has sued GEO, the prison company operating the detention center, arguing that it does not have the proper permits to open. Both the company and the US Department of Homeland Security have argued that the building is up to code, and Delaney Hall is currently detaining people.
