In an absurd diatribe, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, arrested May 9, 2025, at an ICE facility, decried his federal trespassing charge as a humiliating, politically motivated spectacle by the Trump administration.
However, Republicans such as Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS Assistant Secretary, and Interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba provided much-needed context after the initial arrest. Each of these officials clarified that, despite his strong language, Baraka is not above the law.
In any case, Baraka began his discourse by mischaracterizing the events. “I mean, I obviously was charged with federal trespassing, and, you know, which is a classy misdemeanor, but, you know, going through this is just really humiliating and painful. But the reality is, this is what democracy is,” the Democrat rambled.
Speaking in an unclear and disorganized manner, he continued, “We are in dispute here, and we are just living in a time period now where if you are opposed to the ideas of people, you can be threatened with arrest or intimidation. And that’s exactly what’s happening.”
Continuing his screed, he opined, “That’s not the America that we want to be in. That’s not the America that people chose to move 1000s of miles from around the world to this is not this place, and they’re turning it into an authoritarianist government.”
When asked if he had regrets, the controversial democrat doubled down. “No, I don’t have any regrets at all. I went down there to support my congress people, my congresswoman from my district, Congresswoman Bronte Watson Coleman as well, who is like a mother to us here, and Congresswoman Menendez was also from our district,” he raved.
Still not done, he added, “I went down there to support them in the press conference, and I would do it again. Do it again. I have a right to go to those facilities. As the mayor of the city, fire inspector, has a right to be on those facilities. And it is not federal property is, in fact, private property. Geo is privately owned.”
