US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid in Newark, New Jersey, detaining undocumented residents and citizens, including a US military veteran ¹. The raid is part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, following his pledge to deport millions of immigrants in the US illegally.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka condemned the raid, stating that it violates citizens’ rights under the US Constitution. Baraka noted that the ICE agents failed to produce a warrant during the raid, which detained “undocumented residents as well as citizens.” One of the detainees, a US military veteran, had his military documentation questioned.
The raid highlights the ongoing immigration crackdown in the US, with Newark being a sanctuary city that has protected migrants in the past. Mayor Baraka has been a vocal opponent of Trump’s immigration policies and has signed executive orders to cement Newark’s sanctuary status.
