First, the true story:
Dem Congress members storm New Jersey ICE prison to conduct 'oversight visit': 'People deserve dignity'
ICE's Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, is currently holding alleged killers, MS-13 gang members, child rapists and more
Three members of Congress stormed through the gates of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in New Jersey on Friday, demanding they be allowed to conduct an "oversight visit."
Reps. Rob Menendez Jr., Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver, all New Jersey Democrats, entered ICE's Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark and were held up inside the first checkpoint, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News.
"These members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and the detainees at risk," a DHS statement to Fox News said. "Members of Congress are not above the law and cannot illegally break into detention facilities. Had these members requested a tour, we would have facilitated a tour of the facility. This is an evolving situation."
On Friday, Baraka was taken into custody at the facility, according to Alina Habba, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
"The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon," Habba wrote on X. "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."

Authorities with Homeland Securities Investigations at the ICE detention facility Delaney Hall this afternoon arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and charged him with trespassing.
The mayor's arrest following an argument with agents came after a tense week at the privately owned and operated immigrant detention center in Newark.

This from NJ.com, by way of context:
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security official sharply criticized Newark’s mayor on Thursday over his opposition to an immigrant detention center in his city, accusing him of “political antics” that the official said endanger ICE officers and detainees.

The mayor is in a private prison. The mayor should have the Newark police arrest the agents for false arrest.
First judges now mayors. I can see this regime arresting all Democrat presidential candidates.
We have to dox all ICE agents, defund the agency and put the leaders on trial.
