All that was needed to turn an ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, into a circus was a few clowns. New Jersey Democrats proudly provided those clowns.
Three of the state’s Congressional Representatives and the mayor of Newark joined an ICE protest at the Delaney Hall detention center on Friday afternoon. It wasn’t long before the cretinous quartet found themselves in hot water. They rushed through the facility’s gates when it was opened to allow a bus of detainees to enter. The vacuous plan of the daring Democrat chuckleheads would end there as they found themselves stranded between two security fences, where they were met by federal law enforcement.
The three Congress critters would eventually be escorted out of the facility, and Mayor Ras Baraka, who is running for Governor of New Jersey, was arrested for trespassing.

They waited for the busses to open the gates, and they stormed in.

In typical Democrat fashion, the protest was ‘Mostly’ peaceful.

The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
The Mayor, a vocal opponent of ICE, was led away in handcuffs to be processed.

New Jersey Congressman Robert Menendez (No stranger to convicted felons) opined about the incident after being escorted from the facility with fellow resisters Rep. LaMonica McIver and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman.

“They put their hands on two members of Congress… How is this acceptable?”

The emotion, the outrage, the righteous indignation. We hope someone from the Academy was watching because this act was worthy of a nomination.
DHS released a statement on X in response, giving a few examples of the non-criminals Menendez is so desperately trying to defend.

Today, as a bus of detainees was entering the security gate of Delaney Hall Detention Center, a group of protestors, including two members of US Congress, stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility. The allegations by Newark politicians that Delaney does not have the proper permitting is false.

The facility is housing gang members, murders, rapists, and drug dealers. The worst of the worst. If these are the innocent, neighborly ‘migrants’ that Menendez is referring to, we’d hate to see anyone he actually considers to be a criminal.
LaMonica McIver explained that the three Reps and their emotional support mayor were only trying to perform congressional oversight when they stormed the facility’s gates.
As congressional members, we have the power to conduct oversight. That’s what we’re here to do.@RepBonnie @RepMenendez pic.twitter.com/VqfNC56xNi
— Rep. LaMonica McIver (@RepLaMonica) May 9, 2025
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said if the Reps wanted to conduct a tour, all they had to do was ask.
Earlier in the day, Reps. Rob Menendez Jr., Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver, all New Jersey Democrats, entered ICE’s Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark and were held up inside the first checkpoint, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News.
“These members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and the detainees at risk,” a DHS statement to Fox News said. “Members of Congress are not above the law and cannot illegally break into detention facilities. Had these members requested a tour, we would have facilitated a tour of the facility.”
The three lawmakers were outside the facility with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow an ICE bus in. The lawmakers then rushed through the gates and past security, DHS said.
The three lawmakers later joined a group to protest Baraka’s arrest at the DHS field office where he was being processed. There was no word on potential charges for the three perimeter breeching representatives.
keep them in pretrial detention until you can get around to prosecuting (in a couple of years) the same way Jan 6th prisoners were kept. the illegally entered a restricted federal area, they fought with federal agents. J6 treatment ALL THE WAY.

Prosecute every Democrat who participated in these lawless actions today- 18 U.S.C. § 2383 for insurrection. Anyone who engages in ANY rebellion against the authority of the U.S. – including against Federal ICE officers should be charged & prosecuted. NOBODY is above the law.

It’s (D)ifferent when they do it. At least they think it should be.
This New Jersey person on Fox News screaming about the ice facility is a tool.

Getting criminal illegal aliens off of our streets and out of our country IS exactly what we voted for. A statist mayor who would rather protect MS-13 over his own citizens getting arrested is a nice bonus.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!!!
You cannot just force your way into a secure federal facility without expecting consequences. That Mayor got what he deserved! Hopefully he spends a little time in the slammer.

Baraka got what he deserved, but he also got exactly what he was looking for when he joined in this political publicity stunt: attention.
Hopefully, that attention comes with some serious consequences.
