I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.
I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.
May 9, 2025 20:30Mobilize the Guard and kick out the Feds, get to Newark, and put your body on the line for the people you serve, or *shut the FUCK up*
You're the governor. You are quite literally the best person to act on this. ICE is in the city illegally due to their inspection failures, and the national guard is at your disposal.
How about you start by firing any nonfederal “law” enforcement officers that were present and let country know New Jersey will stand up to brown shirts.
Time to stop being outraged and to start fighting back
Governor, you need to be in Newark demanding to inspect the facility! Take a page from Mayor Baraka and man up! Put the big Jersey bot boxers on and assert your power! It doesn't matter that it's a federal facility!
It's on New Jersey soil and is subject to state, county, and city regulations, not just federal.
Issuing statements is a passive-aggressive response and very disappointing.
you better do more than that! now they're threatening other reps! Call the national guard to protect congress!
Don’t just demand his release. Order the nj attorney to file arrest warrants.
Let's not allow these brownshirts to intimidate us. Everyone must stick together to defeat this fascist regime.
#strongertogether
"Brute" Force
The Devil Dog Is in the Details.
Shut off their water and power. Surround them with the NJ National Guard.
We need to get rid of the centrists. They really are no different from MAGA. Even flat out cheating because they don't get their way.
This cannot stand.
Another worthless fucking Blue piece of shit doing the bare minimum to keep his constituents safe
So him, the Maryland governor saying "don't interfere with the police" as they illegally kidnap & beat people and the Michigan governor hiding
See the pattern yet?
#YouShouldHaveBeenVotingGreen 💚
Those wonderful Internet sleuths that figured out who the J6 criminals were, should now focus on identifying who these masked goons are. They might be the same fckn people
The time for outrage is over. Action is needed.
America. Land of the fascists home of the Nazis.
Do something,voicing outrage is the equivalent of toughs and prayers for shooting victims.
Thank you for speaking out! Will New Jersey be suing the Trump administration?
This is goddamned fascism. Call in your state guard and surround the goddamned place and shut that shit down! I can't believe y'all are all clutching your pearls but NOT DOING A GODDAMNED THING.
HONOR YOUR OATH. DO YOUR JOB.
The time has come Governor to walk loudly and use your big stick. The people DEMAND it!
Cut off water to the ICE facility.
Democrats need to stop being outraged and actually fucking do something.
Instead of just being "outraged", why not have the New Jersey State Police arrest the ICEmen who have invaded your state?
This has to be stopped. Yesterday.
Playing by the rules is over. MAGA never played by them. A large part of why we are where we are is because Dems still do.
YESSSSS
If Gov. Murphy, as he states in his letter calling for the mayor's release, banned private immigration detention facilities in New Jersey four years ago, why is there one opening now?
Prickly situation has me
#howling at a
#shark trying to eat my sister while I push against a brick
#wall.
Stand tall.
Safe happy waves from Canada against abuse of power police state using bully tactics
ACTIVATE THE NATIONAL GUARD.
A show of force is the only language fascists understand.
Outraged!
Governor, please help us.
Thank You Governor!
I seem to notice the ice agents and police weren’t so handsy, like in Worcester, yesterday with the 16 year old girl. Maybe the 2 dem congresswomen had a few, I saw, burly black guys protecting them. Just observing the different situational behavior. Y are ice wearing masks? Is there a new pandemic
👍👏
Consider expelling and/or arresting every ICE agent in the state.
Yeah, okay.
So, what's the plan to get the mayor's release? Are you going to storm the gates of Delaney Hall with a posse of outraged citizens, or will you be calling in a favor from your secret network of underground influencers?
The pigs who are enforcing this are the maga gestapo. Don’t let them bullshit you about “doing their job” or “upholding large law”. It’s all LIES. They are nazis!
This is a travesty and a sign of worse things to come from this regime. Masked ICE thugs acting like the Gestapo assaulting citizens should be punishable.
How is this ☝️ guy still mayor? NJ is backwards.
What are you going to do if they don’t?
WHY did they arrest him? Did they have a warrant?
I’m outraged at this entire Country for standing by and watching this happen!!!🤬🤬🤬
how about you fire the local police with their faces masked and hidden? fucking cowards hiding their faces. weak weak pussies.!
Get down there.
I know I've said it's going to get worse but.....it's going to get worse!
I'm also outraged but I'm a nobody in Texas. You are the governor of New Jersey, maybe you have more options than strongly worded condemnations available to you
Oh that's right, Democrats are above the law and allowed to commit any crime as long as it's for a good cause!
Fascism is officially in the country and government. Fuck you trump and the GOP.
HEY NJ GOVERNOR.
Call the NJ National Guard now and Arrest the Illegal Trump Gestapo. They cannot operate a Detention center without the Mayor's approval and they instead arrested him.
Time to call the Democratic Military force.
Everyone is from Jersey today. Well done Governor.
Sounds like a job for the National Guard.
This facility is supposed to be a detention center, yet they have convicts in it?
There own rules say it’s a detention center , not punitive .
This is mot making America great. They need to release him now and shutdown the facility.
A sternly written letter. And your own mayor was kidnapped by the federal government.
Ladies and gentlemen, fascism takes over in a blink of an eye. Democracy dies silently.
Not good enough.
You need to be there demanding his release with the backing of State and Local Police.
If they refuse to do their jobs they need to be fired for insubordination.
Get a spine. This is not the time to ask nicely. This is not the time for capitulation. No Gestapo in our communities.
ICE & DHS have become the tRump regime's private militia. How can Federal Law Enforcement get the Mayor out of a FOR PROFIT PRISON? We're hoping & watching.
TRUMP'S GESTAPO NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. IMPEACH AGAIN SO HE CAN'T RUN FOR ANY OFFICE, including Mar Llego Dog catcher!
USe the Constitution to stop him and throw hos FAT ASS in jail!!
It's an outrage!
Do States rights only apply to abortion bans?
ICE is the equivalent of the Gestapo.
would you folks please stop soft shoeing what's happening in america
this isn't federal law enforcement
its krasnovs private Gestapo
Gestapo btw is the short term for “Geheime Staatspolizei.” The direct English translation is “Secret State Police.”
They don't enforce the law, they corrupt it
If only you were in a position to do something.
Why aren't you having those agents arrested? Bringing strongly worded letters to a gun fight?

After World War II, Nazi officials and other individuals implicated in the atrocities of the Nazi regime were tried in war crimes trials, most notably the Nuremberg trials.
A common defense used by many Nazi defendants was the claim that they were "just following orders" or "superior orders".
*
arrest ice for making illegal arrests
So, it’s war?
Send the state troopers and Jersey National Guard to release him, Governor.
ICE is now a demonstrated threat to the lawful citizens of your state, who deserve peace and protection.
Start by requiring the location, purpose and pre-approval at the state level, of every ICE agent in your state before any actions are taken.
We're quickly becoming Russia! 😡😡😡
Bitching on social media does nothing. If asking fascist cunts nicely to stop actually worked the holocaust would have never happened.
Every politician should know that this (being arrested for disagreeing with government policy) could happen to them, and together, stand up to fight, and keep this from happening again.
you demand it? then go demand it in person, you're stupid letters do nothing
SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD. This is a five alarm fire. Fuck phone calls. Do something.
Go try to break into the facility like he did, Murphy. PLEASE!!!! Maybe that will finally be the end of you.
AG Babba.
How much you heard they’re coming for us all. No more habeas corpus for anybody.
If you wait for the courts to correct this, many more could be imprisoned. Need more action than a simple statement. The natty is an option.
DO MORE!!!!!!!
Stop following the rules and fight back! They're arresting and kidnapping innocent people and Dems keep sending sternly worded letters!
Find your spine & do something.
Use state law enforcement power.
get your ass down there governor!
How about you use the state cops under your command to go get him you coward.
Oh wait that might upset your buddy Trump.
This is sickening!!! We all should not just be outraged over what happened in Newark NJ we should take to the streets now!!! Whst gives?
I think you should ban Alina Habba from the state.
And require that these ICE thugs not mask in the state.
Go down there. Jesus
So it begins. Prominent citizens arrested, for freedom of speech & acting in compliance with the law, under false pretext of opposing Trump agenda. Nowhere more strongly does this show fascism in action. Trump lost all boundaries. Going full Hitler. No pretense of sanity . He needs to be removed.
Don’t call for it, take the national guard with you and get him released
Less talk, more walk.
Don’t you command the national guard?
Send in the bulls
Call the national guard, Governor.
If you don't go to this prison and duplicate the actions of Mayor Baraka, then your words have no meaning.
Take action. Don't issue strongly worded decrees.
Don’t “call,” you absolute fork! SHOW UP AND DEMAND IT AND DONT LEAVE UNTIL IT HAPPENS! OR GET ARRESTED YOURSELF!
I hope you understand why people were so furious when you were clapping it up for the Trump admin's attacks on congestion pricing. You don't give atta boys to Brown Shirts. You fight them. (And it's always been clear that this is who they are.)
Get UP there, NOW
Well this certainly moves him up on my gubernatorial preference list
