Federal Overreach in Newark: Mayor Baraka’s Arrest Demands Accountability

To: Rep. Amodei

From: A verified voter in Carson City, NV

May 10

The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka during a peaceful protest against the Delaney Hall immigration detention center is a blatant example of federal overreach and an affront to democratic principles. Mayor Baraka was on public property, exercising his constitutional rights, when ICE agents detained him without just cause. This incident is not just about one individual; it’s about the dangerous precedent it sets for silencing dissent and undermining local governance. The use of federal power to intimidate and suppress opposition to controversial policies is unacceptable. Your silence on this matter would be a tacit endorsement of authoritarian tactics. Stand up for democracy and the rule of law.
