This is wrong and ICE actions should be condemned in the strongest sense. Regardless of your views on ICE, the law is the law—and any facility operating in a New Jersey municipality must follow it. If Delaney Hall doesn’t have proper local authorization, Mayor Baraka had every reason to be there, and every right to demand accountability.
Instead, ICE arrested him. Whether it’s disobeying the Supreme Court, flirting with a third term, or undermining due process, we’re watching lines get crossed in real time. This is a dangerous precedent—and it demands condemnation in the strongest possible terms.

@RasBaraka as peacefully entered the Delaney Hall Geo Group ICE prison, accompanied by hundreds of community members and a congressional delegation.
Trump's ICE henchmen are coming for judges, mayors, parents. Who is next?
