Summary
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka criticized ICE agents for “raiding” a local business without a warrant, detaining several individuals, including U.S. citizens, a military veteran, and undocumented immigrants.
Baraka called the actions a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unlawful searches and seizures, and vowed Newark would not tolerate such behavior.
ICE confirmed the operation was part of an active investigation, claiming they may request IDs to verify identities during fieldwork.
Can’t wait for them to start cracking down on business owners who knowingly hire illegal immigrants to not have to pay minimum (already criminally low) wages
Is this a joke? ICE is never going to target business owners and even if ICE did, they’d face no punishment.
Low hanging fruit for Democrats… they should introduce a bill with criminal punishment for knowingly employing undocumented. 1 month per employee, per year maybe.
Would be funny to see Republicans twist themselves up into a pretzel arguing against it.
