Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” he was suing New Jersey’s acting Attorney General Alina Habba and a Department of Homeland Security special agent on allegations of false arrest at an ICE detention facility in Newark because it was “egregious” and “authoritarian.
Baraka said, “You know, putting out information even before I was, you know, processed that I was a criminal. I did something wrong. I disobeyed the law. I’m not above the law. and ultimately, I didn’t break any law, right, I was cuffed or fingerprinted, took pictures of twice, once there and once in court for a class C misdemeanor, which you send summons to people for you don’t lock them up and take their fingerprints.”
He continued, “I think what they’ve done is egregious and it’s authoritarian, and it needs to be pushed back against.”

When the legal “authorities” arrest you for a crime, then what they are doing could be deemed “authoritarian.” So what?

Sue away, tool. There’s precedence. And, existing laws on the books.

I’d love to see side by side mugshots of Mayor Porkchop and President Trump.
I’ve got news for Hidishonor. Arrests are by definition authoritarian.

Alina Habba is not the acting AG of New Jersey, she’s the acting United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

“Authoritarian” Man, I like that word, and it fits perfectly. ICE has authority. Baraka not so much. Carry on ICE.

Wrong answer, Mayor. Authoritarian is when your constituents get arrested for breaking the law but you get a pass when you do it.

Shut up Rastus. If Americans want any crap out of a New Joysey mayor, we’ll unscrew his head and dip it out. Better an “authoritarian” than a fascist, far left Joysey mayor.
