DHS considers arrests after New Jersey Congress members and Newark Mayor storm ICE facility, sparking clash and trespassing charges.
Tension flared at the Delaney Hall Detention Center when three New Jersey Congress members and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka attempted an oversight visit that turned chaotic. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warns that arrests remain possible, citing an alleged assault on an ICE officer captured on video. Baraka faces trespassing charges, while lawmakers claim they were manhandled by agents. DHS footage shows otherwise, depicting a Congresswoman forcefully breaching the gate. The facility houses serious offenders, adding gravity to the standoff. With investigations ongoing, the question lingers: are public officials above the law? Perhaps they thought they could gate-crash justice like it’s a New Jersey barbecue—spoiler: the grill’s still hot!

Looks like these lawmakers tried to storm the castle, only to find the drawbridge guarded by law! Maybe next time they’ll send a RSVP—‘Dear ICE, we’d love to oversee, no body-slamming included!’
