Donald Trump's administration has quickly begun enforcing a hardline immigration stance, demonstrated through ICE's recent raid in Newark, targeting undocumented workers. Newark's Mayor, Ras Baraka, condemned the operation, stating that it unlawfully detained American citizens, including a military veteran, without proper warrants. The raid has sparked outrage and concerns among local officials, including Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim, who argue that such actions instill fear within communities and emphasize the need for comprehensive reforms in the immigration system rather than punitive measures.
On Thursday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka confirmed that a raid had taken place at a business in the city, adding that ICE agents detained American citizens as well as undocumented residents without producing a warrant.
'Our offices have reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to demand answers. Actions like this one sow fear in all of our communities - and our broken immigration system requires solutions, not fear tactics,' they said.
