NJ Mayor Makes Startling Claim About His Warrantless Arrest

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka warned that his warrantless arrest by masked ICE goons last week is only the beginning of America‘s slide into “authoritarianism.”

Baraka is facing a misdemeanor trespassing charge after he was taken into custody outside of the Delaney Hall immigration detention center. Baraka has denied trespassing claims, explaining that he was at the facility to conduct an “oversight” tour with three members of congress.

Ras Baraka told MSNBC‘s Eugene Danielson Saturday that his arrest was designed to “make an example” out of him and deter others from standing up to the Trump administration.
