US EditionDHS signals more arrests coming after lawmakers ‘stormed’ ICE prison in protest
- Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in Newark on Friday during a confrontation involving three Democratic members of Congress conducting a federal oversight visit.
- The arrest occurred after Mayor Baraka, along with several New Jersey congressional representatives, made multiple efforts to inspect the detention center, but Newark officials disputed their access in court, citing the facility's lack of a valid occupancy permit.
- The Department of Homeland Security claimed the lawmakers forcibly entered the facility and assaulted ICE officers, including body-slamming a female officer, while the lawmakers denied these accusations and stated they acted within their oversight rights.
- DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said there was body-slamming, but body camera footage reviewed by lawmakers showed pushing and shoving with no body slamming, a point the lawmakers highlighted.
- The incident remains under investigation with Baraka charged with federal trespassing and DHS signaling possible assault charges against the lawmakers, indicating escalating tensions around the detention center amid ongoing immigration policies.

Memo to Democrats: ‘Oversight’ isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card
