Jan 23, 2025 · Newark, NJ
During a targeted ICE enforcement operation at a worksite in Newark, immigration agents detained both undocumented migrants and U.S. citizens, according to Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. Among those detained was a U.S. military veteran whose military documentation was questioned during the raid. Baraka stated that ICE agents failed to produce a warrant and violated Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure. Rep. LaMonica McIver called for answers from the Department of Homeland Security about how the agency was permitted to detain citizens and a military veteran without a warrant.
