Approximately 100 rowdy demonstrators gathered in Lower Manhattan Saturday to protest the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at an ICE facility this week.
The agitators held signs in Foley Square reading “No ICE, no DOGE, no state terror,” and “ICEstapo must go!” and at least one appeared to hound and follow a supporter of President Trump who showed up as a counter-protest.
Elected officials, including Democratic mayoral candidate state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani and socialist NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, also spoke.
Mamdani attempted to link some of his opponents for City Hall to the president.
“For the Trump Administration, just like Mayor Eric Adams, just like Andrew Cuomo, the law is merely a suggestion,” Mamdani whined while addressing the crowd.
“We will stand up for the people that those laws protect, and we will do so each and every day, and we will do so at each and every juncture, because what the Trump Administration is looking for is permission to keep rolling those rights back, and at every attempt, we will be there, we will fight them, and we will defeat them,” he continued.
Socialist NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams also slammed the president, bellowing into a blowhorn, “This administration is an embarrassment.”
The protest came less than 24 hours after Baraka was arrested, then released from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center at Delaney Hall.

OH NOES 100 open border commies I bet somewhere Trump is biting his nails in a corner shivering/sarc
“Ever been to Newark?”
Yup, never again.
Does it smell like Puget Sound, low tide?
The whole state stinks, literally and figuratively.
What part of “No one’s above the law” do they not understand?
I’m lovin’ this aren’t you?
Lyme’s insects
Give them a whiff of grapeshot.
Volley Fire
No problem, issue rubber bullets to the face of the Criminal Agitators.
LOL. There are TWENTY MILLION people in the greater New York City and Newark area. And they mustered a “crowd” of 100?
I’m lovin’ this aren’t you?

I’d like it more if the Mayor had not been released.
While the phrase, “No one is above the Law.” Sounds good, it is not true. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and the FBI are above the Law.
ICE ICE baby !
It’s not just Newark last night
‘Get out of our city,’ Worcester city councilor tells ICE after chaos
I’ve always heard that Jersey smells like low tide.
Sounds like insurrection to me.
Every “sanctuary” governor, mayor and other officials, all need to be arrested and prosecuted for violating immigration statutes.
Hefty fines, prison time and ineligibility to ever hold public office office should be required in their sentencing.
