At least one New Jersey lawmaker is being accused of breaking into an ICE detention building. The U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba says the mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings this afternoon and has been taken into custody. Several Democratic New Jersey lawmakers could be seen at the facility.
