| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The mayor of Newark was dramatically arrested at an ICE detention facility in New Jersey on Friday. Mayor Ras Baraka was detained for 'trespassing' according to Alina Habba, the US attorney for the state, who said he 'ignored multiple warnings' by Homeland Security Investigations to leave. Dramatic footage showed frantic people scrambling outside the gates of the facility, before Baraka was arrested and escorted away by police. Officers were seen shoving protesters out of the way amid the chaos. Rep LaMonica McIver who was at the facility claimed she and her colleagues were assaulted by ICE officers. Following his detention, Habba said: 'He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.' Governor Phil Murphy said he was 'outraged' by the arrest and called for his 'immediate release'. Baraka was released a few hours following his arrest. The mayor claims the detention center has been illegally housing migrants amid Trump's mass deportation push. The mayor claimed the jail has a contract with the city and cannot be housing migrants inside. Last week he attempted to break in, vowing to turn up daily until he was let in. A spokesperson for the company which operates the facility confirmed to DailyMail.com that migrants have been housed at the facility for a week. 'Delaney Hall houses illegal aliens. It is not a family detention facility, nor does it house minors,' a spokesperson told DailyMail.com.
