Newark Mayor Ras baraka claimed that residents of Newark were being “unlawfully terrified” by the Trump administration, which has promised to crackdown on illegal immigration.

According to Newark officials, immigration officials detained a U.S. veteran of the military and several undocumented residents in a Newark business without producing a warrant.

Newark Mayor Ras baraka issued a statement Thursday condemning Immigration and Customs Enforcement for its raid.

Baraka, a Democrat running for governor in this year’s election, said that “this egregious action is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” Newark will not remain silent while the people of Newark are unlawfully terrorized.

“President Trump sends a very clear message to the people of this world – if you think about breaking laws of the United States of America you will be sent home. You will be arrested. “You will be prosecuted,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said to reporters.

New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice stated on social media it is crucial for all New Jerseyans to be safe in their own communities. The group stated that it is time to quickly distribute information about residents’ rights in preparation for future raids.

Immigrant advocates are pushing for state legislators to pass the Immigration Trust Act. This would prevent state and local law-enforcement from cooperating when it is voluntary with federal immigration authorities, limit situations where public agencies could ask about immigration status and ensure that people without regard to immigration status can have access public services such as schools, libraries and health care facilities. Since it was first introduced in 2013, the bill has not been moved.

Amol Sinha is the executive director of American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey. He said that organizations track what’s happening in communities.

There’s no way to know if there were any more ICE raids in New Jersey. However, multiple raids have been reported throughout the United States, including New York City and Boston.

New Jersey is the home of more than 400,000 illegal immigrants.
