ICE Shooting War with NJ SWAT Imminent

He was arrested by DHS agents (hence their jackets)
Wikipedia is wrong. ICE officials deal with immigration. DHS deal with detention and deportation.
In the bodycam footage they are wearing jackets that say "POLICE ICE".

Also he was arrested after he had complied with their instructions and returned to the sidewalk outside the gates.

He just needs to bring NJ SWAT with him next time and we can finally get this inevitable conflagration started.

Well, it is New Jersey, so any collateral damage to property or persons doesn't really matter.

Aaaaaaaaand just like that, two short weeks later every single God damned charge against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka have been completely dropped at the request of the Federal government.

Having wrung every last ounce of "we goan teach that boy a lesson" red meat for the MAGA base, Trump's minions had their lawyers drop every charge. Teh judge was not happy that charges were brought in the first place.

Lit Political Board resident racists Rebel5Soul and Rightguide could not be reached for comment.

Judge blasts ‘embarrassing retraction’ of charge against Newark mayor

The Justice Department charged Newark Mayor Ras Baraka with trespassing during a visit to an ICE facility in the city, but days later has now dropped the case.
