NJ mayor slams 'egregious' ICE raid: 'Newark will not stand by idly'
The mayor of Newark, N.J. slammed the “egregious” raid by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who, he says, raided a local establishment and detained undocumented immigrants and U.S. citizens.
Mayor Ras Baraka said ICE performed the Thursday raid without a warrant and the military veteran who was detained “suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.”
Baraka added the raid was a “plain violation” of the Fourth Amendment.
