Summary

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka criticized ICE agents for “raiding” a local business without a warrant, detaining several individuals, including U.S. citizens, a military veteran, and undocumented immigrants.

Baraka called the actions a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unlawful searches and seizures, and vowed Newark would not tolerate such behavior.

ICE confirmed the operation was part of an active investigation, claiming they may request IDs to verify identities during fieldwork.

    Sadly they do not need warrants if they are within 100 miles of a land or sea border, which Newark is definitely in. [https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone](Border Zone) 2/3s of the US population lives in that zone, meaning we’re going to see a lot more of this and absolutely no pushback from officials.

      “Vehicles and vessels.” A place of business, home, school, church, are neither of those.
