When he’s governor, he should move the national guard in and clear that sh*t hole.

Yep. It’s really the beginning of the end for ICE. The outrage is building. There will be more protests and protests where weapons are fired in self defense. It’s inevitable. State forces will challenge federal forces. They can’t and won’t incarcerate all of us. @allinwithchris.bsky.social

👏

And in the most wild turn possible, it was ONLY federal agents involved in arresting him. Trump is about to have to (stupidly and dishonestly) explain to his rebel flag waving superfans that he is for the federal government being far above the state government.

They do this in Russia and other dictatorships.

He has courage and purpose, we need more heroes like him

Mayor has responsibility to inspect holding center. ICE was intimidating, unlawful, and will lose in court.

Heres an IDEA! Since there are more people not so happy with these ICE people. How about just "Go there, with as many as possible, As they come out and start shuwing you, GRAB and kidnap them, then give them the ice bath challenge!" They cant do alot against people if theres Thousands of you!

He was there to check out the ICE facility. He wasn’t with the protesters. His arrest is a power move by the current regime.

Black people stand still don’t let these shepherds for the devil activate you on behalf of nothing. The Mayor will be fine if not they will all go to prison. This is their moment to wake the hell up and stop playing cops and robbers and they are the cops and robbers too! Grow up

This is a first degree outrage.

Absolutely. This is getting closer to Israeli conditions tho how the government attacks its own ppl if they try to defend an Palestinian or the Palestinian cause. It’s exactly like what we see happening here in the US. Appalling. Fascism. Netanyahu, Putin and Trump must be stopped. Warcriminals.

And why the hell isn’t CNN covering this story? Democracy dies in darkness.

He is a true hero following in the footsteps of MLK. I applaud this brave man.

Well, this administration has set the example by not following the law and rules themselves.

Great! Now get out there & apply the pressure needed while it's still possible! Clock's ticking FAST!

Now I know who I will be voting for.

I thank him for caring. What are they hiding?

We are all Mr Baraka

This is what courageous leadership looks like, @democrats.senate.gov ate.gov & @democrats.org

Something that has to happen. A lot.

We must all be willing to sacrifice! We are being robbed of our ability to earn a living, our children's future and our liberty that generations before us fought and died for. Taking our health care is such a vicious attack, that for many of us, the choice right now is to fight, or die!

That is misinformation according to the 3 House Reps who witnessed the whole event. ICE invited the Mayor a few steps beyond the gate, when asked to leave the Mayor did, going on to public property. They arrested him on PUBLIC PROPERTY. He was NOT trespassing!

It’s what the American people have been begging for since this nightmare began. He should wear that as a badge of honor.

I commend him deeply.

Yes! He wasn't protesting or at the vigil. He was attempting to do his job and protect his city just as he has been trying to for days. newjerseyglobe.com/immigration/...

👍👍👍❤️

I’m not in NJ, but this would earn my vote!

And now the Gestapo run US arrests democratically elected politicians doing their job regarding their electorate. WOW! There IS NO shame!

There is a video of ICE dragging the Mayor inside the facility. Why does this article say that he "broke in"?

Disgusting more crimes against humanity, Trump needs to be out, impeached, done! 👎👎👎

♥️♥️

Free Baraka now!!!

That’s what she really means

She is just awful. All of these FauxNews, cookie-cutter barbies surrounding Trump are an insult to other female professionals.

So infuriating but completely in line with Trump and his henchmen (or woman in this case). Wag the finger while you’re committing the very deed you say you abhor.

Amen.

He’s a hero!!

Was he even "disobedient"? It was reported that he was on the public side of the fence when he was arrested for trespass.

The best message of all “Alina Habba” none is above the law!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

I'm disappointed in the fact that he didn't have any pot on him at the time of arrest. It leaves him open to speculation that this may be a political stunt. Still a great move. I hope it helps his poll numbers.

We need pur elected officials to be willing to stand up and say this is not ok

The video and eye-witness accounts show that they are lying about his breaking in.

That's why I am voting for him

It's time to stand up against tyranny youtu.be/gzzlp8bJdhs

It cannot stand. It will not stand. Our republic is a government of laws. If the laws are meaningless, America is over. She won't go quietly.

#ICE - Is Not Fooling Anybody! #America Knows! Every Person who works for ICE - Is An Employee! Not One Of Them Is A Conscript or Prisoner! If Any ICE Employee Doesn't Like What They're Being Told To Do-They Can Refuse and Quit! Every ICE Employee Chooses To Do, "What The Government Tells Us".

Statements from @senbooker25hrs.bsky.social and @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social

Hypocrites, ICE is constantly ignoring the law! Civil disobedience is mandatory when our government agencies are lawless.

#felon47administration ordered this course of action, they knew who was out there, intimidation - GUARANTEED!!

❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And NJ transit is likely to strike next week.

The MAGA Taliban will do their best to incite violence so dear leader can enact martial law.

I suspect if more white people were willing to do this today this would get finished much more quickly and simply

I understand! But even if he was, he isn't acting illegally. He cannot be arrested for being party to a peaceful protest.

Oh look, this administration dismantled the Civil Rights agency that defends detainees. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

What are we waiting for to stand between these courageous people who represent us and the Nazis of the ICE group? They won't be able to put us all in jail.

We have asked our elected officials to stand up and fight. Mayor Baraka has done as asked. We have an obligation to support him.

Did they seriously state no one is above the law? Grateful he is standing up to them. I hope he is ok.

Any federal law enforcement in mask should be removed the the streets immediately. If they are not breaking laws, they do not need to mask their identities. The Mayor should have taken local law enforcement with him and arrested the federal agents. W know they have broken laws.

This is exactly the kind of leadership we need. #goodtrouble

Since ICE commits a number of crimes itself, including deporting American citizens and non-citizens without due process, I think reverse raids ought to be tried to convince them that if they do wrong, they'll wish they hadn't. And courts should clarify that they have an obligation to ANSWER ??

In 1946, Henry David Thoreau refused to pay a "poll tax," which the government used to promote slavery and pay for the war against Mexico. He spent a night in jail. Civil Disobedience. He later wrote, “In an unjust society the only place for a just man is prison.” Thank you, Mr. Mayor!

Insanity!

Where is the NJ National Guard to protect its citizens?!? Shut that goddamned place down.

hell, sounds to me like Jersey is looking at it's next Governor

Sounds like Good Trouble to me ‼️

We should see more of this, at every level. Senators and Reps, go into where they're keeping you out and shed light! That is your job, and the definition of oversight.

I'm so glad that they filmed the interaction that took place. Even when Congressman Mendez was shoved. To hear the details in his own words to Nicole is so freaking disgusting.

🙌

I applaud him but we need more. Most are self-serving cowards.

Good trouble!

🎯

This is beyond a travesty…

Send letter to your Congressman to start impeachment. Takes 3 seconds to complete. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Gestapo. Not charged. Just taken off the protest group. Start impeachment of the current president and his minions. Get your congressman to call to action immediately.

Special ICE bonus points since he's a black man.

Hopefully, this motivates other leaders to mobilize. Let the citizens of New Jersey be the catalyst to the start of action that cannot be ignored. F&@k Hanna!!

What the hell is going on in this country? Masked police arresting the Mayor of Newark? It's here. We're a police state. We need to act.

Trump set a precedent when he pardoned the thugs that broke into our Capital & beat our police with flag poles. So how can he justify the arrest of the Newark mayor?? Trump told the world that it's ok to break into federal buildings, (not that the mayor even did that) so he needs to answer to this!

His father, Amiri Baraka, would be so proud of him. Good Trouble. www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/amiri-...

DonOLD's Gestapo!

Respect! Yes! This is what they all should be doing! Anyone that values democracy and are in a position of power! Speak up!

We all need to follow his lead. And applaud him for sure. This is the bravery a true political leader demonstrates.

yes.

LETS GO NEW JERSEY!!! GET OUT THERE AND PROTECT YOUR MAYOR FOR STANDING UP TO A CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION!!!

He is now on my radar!!!’

He's telling you what to do. I will spell it out. Civil disobedience. General strike. Boycott everything. Refuse to pay play and participate in the game. Take to the streets and stay there until you are successful in shutting it all down. Depose the tyrant before he destroys your Democracy.

I expect this twit to IMMEDIATELY arrest Trump next time he’s in town. The 🤬 gaslighting from these fascists. “He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW,” attorney Alina Habba said in a public statement.

I agree 1000% but I’d also like to know what the alleged “civil disobedience” was. My understanding is ICE was refusing to allow the legally required electrical/plumbing inspections. The Mayor would have every right & authority to prevent the building’s use until it passed inspection.

The arrest is a badge of Honor .

👏👏👏

Oh YES!

Protect the constitution Protect due process Cruelty is the point

THIS is good trouble

Am I missing something? How is it civil disobedience if he was doing his job. I work in the prison system and any govt official at any time can come and inspect. If there was nothing to hide why did the ICE aka gestapo put up a fight.

Like they did Luigi. This is some straight up Nazi shit

Valid comparison.

They are making him an example, but 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 (can you triple-cross your fingers?) it backfires on them. I believe it will.

It just pisses us off more...😄

We allowed him to redefine what this is. This should always bring him the shame of being a thirty-four time convicted felon. There would have been more if he hadn’t played the courts to his advantage, and then tricked a slim majority of the US public into shamefully voting for him.

And all that does is make us more mad, and more committed to fight the regime. They do not have the power to silence us when we speak with one voice, power to the people was the slogan of the 60's, what is ours? All thoughts welcome.

We’ve reached the point along the road to fascism where elected officials are being disappeared.

According to the sec accurate details by Congressman Robert Mendez, who was also shoved and was there told Nicole the mayor was told to leave and go to public side. Gate opened and he stepped out. An agent was on the phone with someone and was told to arrest the mayor, 20 agents came out.

He was set up.

I don't think they really know the law enough not to be ham-handed. They certainly don't respect it enough to try to follow it.

This reporting does not jive with the video tape and witness accounts.

Their little stunt made him a hero!!! Way to go Gov! And there are videos!!!

The article is a joke. He did none of those things. What is so offensive about truth?

I'm familiar with Newark, and I'm going to make an educated guess that the detention center is near the airport. This was very brave of the Mayor.

Yeah, they’re going too far… Too fast! At some point, this shit is going to get ugly and I’m guessing sooner. Keep in mind, they are pushing us to the limit, hoping we will give them an excuse to declare martial law. Be smart.
