Newark mayor arrested for ICE facility trespassing calls tactics ‘effective’

New Ark, New Jersey, the mayor of Ras Barka, who was arrested due to the infringement of the property of others during his protest at a federal immigration facility last week, said on Monday during a televised ruler’s discussion that his actions were “” an effective way to protest the settlement of immigration to the president.

Parka denied that he had committed anything wrong despite his arrest of the federal authorities because of the infringement of the property of others in the Dylani Hall detention facility in Newark on Friday.

During a discussion on Monday between the Democratic candidates in the New Jersey Governor Race, the assertion doubled that he had not done anything wrong.

“We have not interfered in the enforcement of federal law,” Parka said early in the discussion when the supervisors turned their interrogation into a Friday accident at the New Arrek detention facility. “We did not go there to protest. We have already gone there to hold a press conference. The congress is weaving. They started to exercise their supervision. Internal security escalated it. They arrested because they received an invitation to do so. This is what happened.”

Parka was arrested during a protest in the Dylan Hall attended by three members of Congress, who said they came to perform the duties of supervision imposed by Congress in relation to federal detention facilities. The three legislators were outside the facility with a group of demonstrators when they opened the gates to allow the ice bus. Then the lawmakers rushed through the past gates and security, according to officials from the Ministry of Internal Security.

The arrest came at a time when activists were calling for the facility for several days, a special facility that was renewed as an immigration detention facility this year.

“We don’t ask anything that is not true. We ask them to obey our laws,” Parka said after the accident. “To obey policies and rules here in the city and the New Jersey State, not to operate the constitution of the United States, the Rights, the fourth, the fifth, the fourteenth amendment and everyone on this soil that deserves legal procedures.”

During the discussion of Monday night, the other ruling candidates were asked if they believed that Parka tactics are “effective” in the same way that he would do and whether they would do things differently. Whereas, for the largest part, all the candidates on this question extend, instead, they choose to win their borders in supporting migration and challenge, Donald Trump, some have expressed their support for Paria.

“I do not say that I will do anything in a different way,” said Representative Micky Sherrill, the forty -fourth Democrat who represents the province of the eleventh Congress in the state. “I do not think that the mayor was transgressing. In talking to my colleagues in Congress, he was invited. They asked him to leave, then left, then he was arrested.”
