Ben Crump on Instagram: "New bodycam footage reportedly supports what Mayor Ras Baraka said: his arrest at a Newark ICE facility was ordered by Washington officials — not because of anything he did on the ground. Charges were dropped, but the message this action sends is unmistakable!"

New bodycam footage has been released that shows federal agents being ordered by Trump officials to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka in May 2025. The footage, which has been obtained by a federal court, reveals that the arrest was carried out at an ICE facility and was later dropped. The footage also shows that the Trump administration was trying to prosecute Congresswoman LaMonica McGiver for her involvement in the incident. The incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the motives behind the arrest.
