Doesn't seem that Baraka's agenda here is any different than Democrats who did the same thing in Trump's first term as POTUS when ICE was committing atrocious crimes then.
I'm not sure this is going to change the dynamic of the NJ-GOV race in Baraka's favor but I'm glad he's doing it.
It's a good thing to do, and actually doing it differentiates him from the other candidates even if they all support his actions. There's a difference between getting yourself arrested and opposing a policy.
This is a very brave move from him. Not only does he show that he’s willing to put himself in harm’s way to protect his people, but it shines a light on how low Trump’s ICE is willing to go.
Is this Trump trying to prop up Baraka in the primary thinking he’ll be easier to beat in the general?
Do you think he's that strategic? I don't.
