Trump administration threatens to arrest N.J. lawmakers

The Trump administration is threatening to arrest Democratic members of Congress following the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at an immigration detention center. A DHS spokeswoman stated more arrests are likely, citing alleged assaults on ICE officers. The potential arrests stem from an incident at Delaney Hall, where three Congress members were present with Baraka when he was arrested. DHS claims the lawmakers "stormed a gate" and assaulted officers, allegations they deny. The incident occurred amid a backdrop of the Trump administration's push for mass deportations and Baraka's opposition to the detention center. The lawmakers maintain they were exercising their oversight authority.
