US Attorney Alina Habba on Monday evening announced her office dropped a misdemeanor trespass charge against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
The charge against Baraka was related to his riotous activity at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center earlier this month.
“After extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka’s misdemeanor charge or trespass,” Alina Habba said in a statement posted to X on Monday evening.
“In the spirit of public interest, I have invited the mayor to tour Delaney Hall. The government has nothing to hide at this facility, and I will personally accompany the mayor so he can see that firsthand,” Habba said.
Habba also announced her office charged Democrat Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for assaulting ICE agents.
The Mayor of Newark was arrested for criminal trespass earlier this month after storming the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility.
