Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, the WFP-endorsed candidate for Governor of New Jersey, was arrested yesterday afternoon by armed federal agents, taken away in handcuffs after attempting to visit a recently re-opened ICE detention facility:1
According to Rep. LaMonica McIver, who was part of a Congressional delegation visiting the facility at the same time, ICE agents shoved her, "manhandled Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, and arrested Mayor Baraka," even after he complied with their instructions.2
He was then detained for hours until being released later in the evening.
The Working Families Party has joined a powerful coalition of progressive labor unions and advocates in New Jersey to endorse Mayor Ras Baraka for Governor.
