Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday after illegally entering a federal immigration detention center alongside three Democratic congressmembers. Video shows chaotic clashes as lawmakers and protesters forced their way into Delaney Hall, a facility housing violent criminals like MS-13 gang members. Homeland Security officials condemned the “bizarre political stunt” that endangered both law enforcement and detainees.
The far-left mayor was released hours later to cheering supporters, where he attacked Christian conservatives while quoting Bible verses. Baraka claimed moral superiority for protecting illegal immigrants, ignoring the fact he’d just been booked for criminal trespassing. His release sparked outrage among law-abiding citizens tired of politicians flouting rules they enforce on others.
Federal charges reveal Baraka faces up to six months jail time and $500 fines for refusing to leave restricted government property. The mayor knowingly violated federal statute 40 U.S.C. 5104(e) governing trespassing on secure facilities. While ordinary citizens face consequences for such crimes, Democrat elites expect special treatment.
Homeland Security confirmed the politicians could have legally toured the facility by request but chose illegal confrontation instead. A bus carrying detainees became cover for the mob to rush security gates. This reckless behavior mirrors the left’s open-border agenda that prioritizes illegal immigrants over public safety.
Delaney Hall detains convicted felons including murderers and gang members – not the “asylum seekers” portrayed by activist politicians. While Democrats scream about inhumane conditions, they ignore victims of crimes committed by released offenders. Their performative outrage protects violent criminals at citizens’ expense.
The facility’s private operator GEO Group faces liberal lawsuits trying to shut down needed detention space. Despite false claims about permit violations, federal officials confirm the center meets all safety standards. Democrats would rather release dangerous felons than allow secure holding facilities.
Mayor Baraka’s lawbreaking hypocrisy shines through as he sues others for “ignoring laws” while committing crimes himself. This “rules for thee, not for me” mentality defines modern progressivism. Elected officials who disrespect our justice system shouldn’t hold office.
This incident exposes the left’s dangerous agenda – dismantling immigration enforcement while attacking those who uphold the law. Americans deserve leaders who protect communities, not criminals. Until Democrats abandon their radical open-borders crusade, more chaos will follow.
