Trump Admin Continues Rounding Up Illegals, Hits Sanctuary City Newark, NJ

Obviously, this has made the mayor of Newark very upset, and, if he keeps it up, he may end up finding himself charged with violating federal immigration law on harboring as well as obstruction of justice

US agents raid New Jersey worksite as Trump escalates immigration crackdown

U.S. immigration agents rounded up undocumented migrants as well as American citizens in a raid of a Newark, New Jersey, worksite on Thursday that the city’s mayor said involved detaining a military veteran and violations of the people’s rights.

The raid in New Jersey’s most populous city, hailed in the past by mayor Ras Baraka for its “sanctuary” policies protecting migrants, follows President Donald Trump’s pledge to deport millions of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.

In a raid of a business establishment in Newark, outside New York City, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents failed to produce a warrant as they detained “undocumented residents as well as citizens,” Baraka said in a statement.

“One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned,” Baraka said.

In a statement, an ICE spokesperson said that agents “may encounter U.S. citizens while conducting field work and may request identification to establish an individual’s identity as was the case during a targeted enforcement operation at a worksite today in Newark.”

In other words, ICE asked him for ID, and then let him go. That’s it. And then they took the actual illegals away. Nor do they need a warrant to sweep up illegals. They can get a warrant for you, though, if you interfere.

Baraka said the raid had violated the citizens’ rights under the U.S. Constitution.

“Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized,” he said.

Illegals/fake asylum seekers are not citizens.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said on X that the Trump administration arrested 538 people on Thursday, describing all of them as “illegal immigrant criminals”. She said they included members of a Venezuelan prison gang and people convicted of sex crimes.

That is a good start. And it is amazing that Democrats and the Credentialed Media whine about rounding up criminals. Now we need to hear the numbers for those who get booted out as the roundups continue.
