YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNewark Mayor and New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka was released Friday night after being collared at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility that opened Tuesday — and which he has vowed to shut down.
Baraka was released around 7:50 p.m. to cheers from the large crowd of protesters and swath of public officials — including socialist Big Apple mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
“We know we’re right. What we ask for is correct,” the 55-year-old said to roars of support from those who had been chanting for his release.
“We ask them to obey our laws. To obey the policies and rules here in the city and state of New Jersey. And not to run roughshod over the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, the Fourth, Fifth, the 14th Amendments. Everyone on this soil deserves due process,” the gubernatorial candidate said.
Mamdami stood in solidarity with the demonstrators — and expressed his support for Baraka’s actions.
“We have been living in a city where we’ve been told by our mayor that the only way to deal with the Trump administration is through either collaboration or cowardice,” Mamdani told The Post. “And what we’ve seen from Mayor Baraka is this statement that he has lived up to, which is that you cannot meet extremism with moderation.
“We are seeing a complete disregard for the rule of law from this Trump administration and a desire to throw any dissidents into jail, seemingly at any opportunity,” he added.
The New York assemblyman is consistently polling second to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary.
Video posted to X at just after 3 p.m. by a News 12 New Jersey reporter showed Baraka, with his hands cuffed behind his back, being led away from the detention center by a Homeland Security Investigations officer.
