This week, Newark Mayor and New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka (D) entered the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center and asserted "this facility cannot be legally operated in Newark. Newark is a sanctuary city that welcomes immigrants. The planned living conditions at Delaney Hall do not fulfill the standards we require for these new Americans. ICE wants to lock them up in cages. We insist upon hotel accommodations."
Acting US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba pointed out that "so-called 'sanctuary cities' contradict federal law. They may have been tolerated under the lawless Biden Administration, but there is no legitimate basis for Mayor Baraka to trespass and seek to impede ICE's lawful operation of the Delaney Hall detention center. He was warned multiple times that his actions at Delaney Hall were interfering with these lawful operations. His refusal to heed these warnings led to his arrest."
Three Democrat members of New Jersey's Congressional delegation--Reps. Robert Menendez, LaMonica McIver, and Bonnie Watson Coleman--were taking a prearranged tour of Delaney Hall that the Mayor attempted to join to gain entry to the facility.
Rep. McIver expressed her outrage at the treatment they and the Mayor received, saying "an ICE officer not only arrested the mayor of Newark, but he touched my elbow in the process. This type of assault on a member of Congress is yet another flagrant violation of due process from the Trump Administration. We all know that multiple federal district judges have invalidated virtually every action Trump has taken in his effort to fulfill his campaign promise to deport these innocent new Americans. None of them belong in prisons like Delaney Hall. All deserve to be free on their own recognizance until they get a fair trial on their right to stay here."
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) claimed "my sit-in on the Capitol steps helped inspire these members of Congress to stand up for these people's right to travel freely to and within the United States. Once again, critics who call me a 'do nothing senator' have been proved wrong."
In related news, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) asserted that "Trump's claim that he can deport these folks is unconstitutional. Our Constitution's Sixth Amendment requires that everyone accused of illegally entering our country is innocent until proven guilty by as jury of his peers, which in this case, I would presume must be made up of other persons accused of entering the United States illegally. Trump is flouting this right and deserves to be impeached. Polls show he is so unpopular that folks will be glad to see him be removed from office."

Dan Goldman, you are such a liar!
Exactly, Americans first before any illegal aliens!
Ya mean the son of Leroy jones been arrested? Following in the right path.
Take him to the zoo.
According to leftist dingbats, millions of alien invaders may enter the US without due process, but every one of those millions must be allowed due process to remove them.
Thomas Jefferson warned us that these unelected, black-robed snakes would cause trouble down the line. Meanwhile, the useless congress sits on their fat asses and does nothing to remedy the problem.
