US LIVE: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka Holds News Conference After Immigration Raid | ICE | NJ | N18G
The office of the mayor of Newark holds a news conference after an alleged immigration-related raid at a business in Newark on Thursday.
U.S. immigration agents rounded up undocumented migrants as well as American citizens in a raid of a Newark, New Jersey, worksite on Thursday that the city's mayor said involved detaining a military veteran and violations of the people's rights.
The raid in New Jersey's most populous city, hailed in the past by mayor Ras Baraka for its "sanctuary" policies protecting migrants, follows President Donald Trump's pledge to deport millions of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday announced that it had rolled back Biden-era guidance that limited federal immigration arrests near sensitive locations, including schools, hospitals and churches.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman rescinded the order on Monday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said. Huffman also issued a directive limiting the use of "parole" that former President Joe Biden employed to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter the U.S. legally temporarily.
