Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week, according to federal officials. He was released hours later and told supporters: “I didn’t do anything wrong.”
News 12 crews witnessed the arrest Friday afternoon while attending a news conference organized by Baraka and a congressional delegation attempting to conduct an oversight inspection.
