Newark, New Jersey – 24 January 2025
1. Exterior of seafood distribution business where Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers detained people
2. Interior of seafood distribution business where Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers detained people
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Mayor Ras Baraka (D) Newark, New Jersey:
“Obviously, some ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents raided a business in our city without a warrant. They went in the back of the establishment. We believe that there were three people who they say were undocumented that they detained, but they also detained folks that were, in fact, citizens of this country. One person showed their military veteran identification and was still questioned anyway. People were fingerprinted. Pictures of their IDs and face were taken, there. When I got this information, I was appalled. Upset, angry that this would happen here in this state in this country.”

10. Worker outside food business where ICE detained people
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Amy Torres, New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice:
“Imagine what it looks like to walk into a work site that has a customer facing storefront, floor to ceiling materials, products, displays. No one in that storefront except a single cashier. No one stocking the shelves. Not a single customer in the aisle. And attached to it a distribution facility in a warehouse. Aisles further than you can see. And about ten people within view. This is a work site that employs about 80 to 90 people per day. We got there. There were 12 by the time we left hours later, three people had come back. There were 15 people total. People are scared. We knew this was going to happen. And what we learned from folks that stayed behind was that ICE (agents) walked in like it was their empire’s own conquered land. They were heavily armed. There was no prior announcement. They were blocking off entrances and exits. They were scrambling up delivery ramps. They were banging down bathroom doors to make sure no one was hiding inside.”
12. Wide of news conference at Newark City Hall
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. LaMonica McIver, (D) New Jersey:
“They barged into our city to detain our neighbors. Trump’s attacks on immigrant communities is now at our front door.”

STORYLINE:
