💨 Abstract

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka will appear in federal court for a status conference on charges of trespassing at an immigration detention center. The charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 days, stems from an incident where Baraka attempted to enter the facility with congressional representatives. Baraka denies the charge, claiming he was on public property. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the event, hinting at potential disciplinary actions against the involved Democrats.
