#IceAgent who arrested the #NewarkMayor, they have immunity from illegal acts, but they don’t. And they may just find out.

This is the ICE thug who arrested the Newark mayor. Make him famous. If we as a country are unwilling to hold fascist leadership accountable, then we should make life difficult enough for the thug los...

The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is a warning sign of just how far Trump and his allies are willing to go to silence dissent. This is not normal. It’s authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.
