💨 Abstract

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and later released after protesting the opening of a new federal immigration detention center, Delaney Hall. He was accused of trespassing and ignoring warnings to leave the facility. Baraka, an outspoken critic of the detention center, insists that he broke no laws and advocates for all residents, regardless of immigration status. His arrest came amid an argument with federal officials when he attempted to join lawmakers inspecting the facility.
