A teenage Bloods gang member, a sex offender and an alleged cop assaulter hiding under a bed were nabbed Wednesday in a multi-agency raid in Newark — led by the US Marshals with newly minted Interim New Jersey US Attorney Alina Habba in tow.
The Post witnessed the arrest of Zakiyy Houser, 18, a gangbanger with a history of weapons charges wanted for aggravated assault after an incident in which he allegedly shot two people in Newark last month.
Houser’s lengthy rap sheet includes a string of juvenile offenses across Essex County, New Jersey, among them conspiracy, possession of burglary tools, criminal trespass, burglary and theft by unlawful taking, according to records.
His prior weapons charges — spanning New Jersey communities including Elmwood Park, Livingston, Newark, Verona and West Caldwell — include possession of a prohibited weapon and hollow-tip bullets and unlawful possession of a handgun.
Twenty-two agents from the US Marshals, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local law enforcement were joined by Habba — President Trump’s former attorney — who got a front-row seat to the action.
“I can’t believe how many cases you guys are juggling … Unbelievable, unbelievable. God bless you guys, thank you for letting me see what you do every day. Truly it was an honor,” Habba said to the Marshals while decked out in a cap and one of the agency’s bulletproof vests.
Houser was nabbed wearing a blue Amazon vest at the Pennington Court apartments on South Street in Brick City — with Habba helping haul him out in cuffs.
Habba said his fellow Bloods member was a 14-year-old who recently shot and killed a 26-year-old Newark detective who was attempting to arrest him, and that she’d be charging the teen as an adult.

Have to like the Lincoln tattoo on the Marshal as well. Verona and West Caldwell are nice towns, but very close to Newark.
Booker is too busy ‘splainin why he escorted an armed man into the Capitol, skipping the Capitol Police checkpoint.
He should be in big trouble for that act.
So anti-MAGA.
one way ticket to Africa, the only solution to America’s problem race.
I am glad he was caught, but, would it not be an issue, for the prosecution, that Alina Habba is a part of, to be seen, walking this guy out in cuffs? Bondi goes on raids, but, she does not, actually, partake in anything, with the arrest.
You have a dress code? Isn’t capturing terrorist gang members good enough for you?
FR is awash in snide comments in recent years, to the diminution of the forum.
Post #12 already did.
But melanin doesn’t cause violent behavior.
You sound like a democrat.
The people making those sort of comments are not serious people. A joke is one thing but mean-spirited carping is unsightly.
Well said. Thank you.
Yes, he should be in big trouble.
Booker is a snake in the grass just like Obama.
Habba is the “Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey”. She’s sending a message.
Yeah, I saw that.
Some freepers want it all, and they want it now. Tiresome.
Whoa easy there man. Excellent look.
