Baraka said in a statement that in a raid on a businessman outside New York, New York City, immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent failed to present a warrant because they “non -documentary residents as well as citizens” Detained.
“One of those arrested is an American soldier who was dishonored because of questioning the legal status of his military documents,” Baraka said. “This disgusting process is a clear violation of the fourth amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees that ‘people’s rights will be protected against irrational seizures and occupations in their individuals, houses, papers and effects. ”
The mayor added that the Nevarak “will not stand quietly when people are being terrorized illegally.”
The raid took place a few days after President Donald Trump’s return office. It has since signed several executive orders that will do everything from allowing ICE raids in the synagogues to end the birthright citizenship.
During his campaign, Trump threatened to deport 11 million non -documentary immigrants when returning to the White House. More than 470,000 residents of New Jersey are non -documentary.
In a statement, an ICE spokesman said that the agent “can face US citizens while doing field work and request an identity to establish an individual identification as targeted enforcement at a work site in Naurak today It happened during the operation. “

It is exactly what happened, and how it was allowed to come to the ICE without a warrant and justification.

“Another example of today’s raid in the Nevarak is how the Trump administration’s anti -immigrant agenda hurts everyone,” Morsi said. “When armed officers are given the option of raiding our homes, our workplaces and our communities, no one is safe. Now, more than ever before, New Jersey should take all necessary steps to protect all residents. More than two million immigrants, including the Garden. “
New Jersey and Trump administration
During Trump’s first term, the Justice Department took the state to court about a state directive that restricted how much New Jersey law enforcement agencies could cooperate with federal immigration officials.
The office of the State Attorney General did not comment on the raid but reiterated that The Immigrant Trust recipe 2018 is still the effect. The state was often contradictory to the Trump administration and often used a justice system to prevent various policies.
During this time, the risk of ICE raids left many immigrants to the edge.

The organization learned about plans through the Freedom of Information Act case. Any Elizabeth will set more beds at the detention center, which is the last facility of immigration detention in the state, which is owned by Corecivic. Second, from the GEO group, Trenton will build a new facility at the Albert M. Robinson Center in New Jersey, a half -way home he owned.
