Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has filed a federal lawsuit, after he was arrested by masked federal agents outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement jail in Newark. They arrested me without any evidence," says Baraka of his decision to sue. They humiliated me. They cuffed me. They dragged me in the car, took me to the cell. ... It was completely unwarranted." President Trump's Justice Department is also suing Newark over its sanctuary policies, along with three other New Jersey cities, including Jersey City, where the mayor, Steve Fulop, is running for governor. Baraka is also running for governor in the primary election this Tuesday, June 10.
