New Jersey Democrats and immigration activists vowed to fight against President Donald Trump's immigration policies after eight people were detained Thursday in an ICE raid in Newark.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, members of Congress, state officials and migrant activists on Friday spoke at a news conference, where the mayor claimed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acted without a warrant and detained workers, including a U.S. military veteran.
"The problem with this is that none of these people were rapists, or murderers or criminals," Baraka said. "The problem with it is that ICE went in there without a warrant."
The mayor also said that Newark must remain a sanctuary city for migrants.
"We don't want an ICE detention in Newark. What we are concerned about is the erosion of the Constitution," said Baraka.
Officials and immigration activists said that ICE agents detained four women, who were all mothers, and four men. The mayor said he was "appalled" to learn that those who were detained had been fingerprinted and had pictures of their IDs taken, and he accused ICE of violating the Fourth and 14th Amendment rights of those detained.

Asked if he is afraid of prosecution for refusing to cooperate, Baraka said he is not.
"If [Trump] thinks that we're just going to go to jail quietly, he's got another thing coming," the mayor said.

Examples need to be made, obviously.
“I don’t believe they need a warrant.”
At this stage, a judicial warrant should always be sought.
The leftists will fight as hard as possible.
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects....”
The ilícitos are not “of the people” IMO, but their employer might be.
Article I Section 9
The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Charge them with human trafficking. Also charge them as accessories to any other crimes committed by illegals they hire.
Maybe a bounty hunter needs a warrant but I’d like to think that they don’t.
Our new America First government needs to arrest this mayor for his actions...Then, arrest another mayor or high ranking politician that holds up ICE from doing their job...
After 2 or 3 of these America hating democrats are arrested, the opposition to deportation will really slow down...
Does an illegal alien have constitutional rights?
I hope not...
Leftists can fight for the illegal aliens all they want—after the illegal aliens are deported.
That is what we are doing differently this time.
Act first.
Debate later.
I’d add raid a few homes of the wealthy democrats who employ illegals. Have ICE search their homes. Those people would immediately start citing their illegal housekeepers, Nannie’s and gardeners.
It’s New Jersey when isn’t one happening?.
That would also work.....
If she is protecting these illegal felons, she should also be arrested since she is a felon.
I couldn’t believe the boy had a bigfoot standing behind him on the stage.
Every illegal is a criminal.
Try “hot pursuit”. As to the commie trash politico, shut up.
Ok. Will add to the lexicon.
Although illegal aliens have the same rights under the 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution as citizens and legal residents, a warrant is not required to arrest someone who is committing a crime. Happens all the time, every hour of every day across the country.
What we are concerned about is the erosion of the Constitution
