"In video of the altercation shared with The Associated Press, a federal official in a jacket with the logo of the Homeland Security Investigations can be heard telling Baraka he could not join a tour of the facility because 'you are not a congress member.'
"Baraka then left the secure area, rejoining protesters on the public side of the gate. Video showed him speaking through the gate to a man in a suit, who said: 'They’re talking about coming back to arrest you.'
" 'I’m not on their property. They can’t come out on the street and arrest me,' Baraka replied."

The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, has been arrested at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week. A federal prosecutor says on the social platform X that Ras Baraka committed trespass Friday and ignored warnings to leave the Delaney Hall facility. Witnesses say Baraka tried to enter the center with three members of New Jersey’s congressional delegation who arrived unannounced to inspect it. They say he was arrested after returning to public property. Baraka has protested the construction and opening of the 1,000-bed detention center, including filing a lawsuit challenging its permits. The facility is run by a private operator.
