Ron Sparks<p>"NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" says Alina Habba, world record holder for "dumbest lawyer" and President Donald Trump's US Attorney for New Jersey despite a complete lack of meaningful qualifications.

Oh, yeah, believe in the rule of law.</p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>In a breaking story, the Mayor (D) of Newark has been arrested for "trespass" at an ICE detention facility in New Jersey, Delaney Hall. Reports indicate that the Mayor, Ras Baraka was at the facility with other area politicians to conduct oversight at the recently re-opened privately-run detention center after reports of horrifying and inhumane conditions in other ICE facilities operated by GEO Group. Local news outlets are reporting that Baraka and 3 Congressional Democrats attempted to join a scheduled tour of the facility and were denied entry and ordered to vacate the premises by uniformed staff; an argument broke out and Members of Congress were shoved by agents, before multiple officers swarmed and arrested Baraka. </p><p>Clearly seeking to get out ahead of the crisis, woefully unqualified interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba (yes, that Habba; Trump's discredited former lawyer) took to social media to declare "no one is above the law" and low key threaten Trump's political opposition, while the Department of Homeland Security is now making up wild stories about Congressional Representatives Robert Menendez and Bonnie Watson Coleman storming the facility; even though the entire encounter was captured on camera by news outlets and observers in the parking lot of the facility.</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/mayor-of-newark-nj" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/mayor-of</span><span class="invisible">-newark-nj</span></a></p><p>'This Is Not Normal': Newark Mayor Ras Baraka Arrested at Contested ICE Detention Facility</p><p>"Alina Habba, the interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey, said on social media that Baraka "committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. 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."</p><p>Baraka's office told PIX11 that the mayor was taken to an ICE field office at 620 Frelinghuysen Ave. in Newark, adding that "we are actively monitoring and will provide more details as they become available."</p><p>The members of Congress explained on social media that they were at the facility to conduct oversight. As Watson Coleman put it: "We're at Delaney Hall, an ICE prison in Newark that opened without permission from the city and in violation of local ordinances. We've heard stories of what it's like in other ICE prisons. We're exercising our oversight authority to see for ourselves."</p><p>On one hand you would assume that even the Trump regime isn't stupid enough to try and lie about an incident captured entirely on videotape; on the other hand these are the same people who declared they won a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling against them, argue that the existence of undocumented migrants in America means we're in a literal war that gives the President extraordinary powers, and continue to insist that Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election even though he absolutely did not, and that was four and half years ago. Clearly the plan here is to throw up enough bullshit to fire up winger outrage at Democrats "endangering our beloved Gestapo" and hope emotion overrules logic as the regime engages in clear fascist repression of their political opposition. </p><p>"DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that "members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond a bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and detainees at risk. Members of Congress are not above the law and cannot illegally break into detention facilities. Had these members requested a tour, we would have facilitated a tour of the facility. This is an evolving situation."</p><p>The department also claimed that "the allegations made by Newark politicians that Delaney does not have the proper permitting are false. We have valid permits, and inspections for plumbing and electricity, and fire codes have been cleared."</p><p>This is utterly unhinged nonsense; nobody was trying to "break into" an ICE detention facility and the entire purpose of not informing DHS that they wanted a tour is so that the elected officials could investigate reports of abuse and unsafe conditions at the facility *without* DHS being able to set the scene before they arrive. Everything Baraka and the Congressional Democrats did here is a completely reasonable exercise of their oversight authority during what amounts to a fact-finding mission at local private prison facility contracting with the US government. The fact is that the Trump regime doesn't want the American people or their representatives to see what goes on inside private migrant detention facilities because they know it would outrage public sentiment and expose the regime to legal consequences; that's why the officials were stopped and ordered to leave. When they refused, the Gestapo went to the only thing they know; carceral force. This is fascism in action.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AlinaHabba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlinaHabba</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Newark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newark</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RasBaraka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RasBaraka</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DelaneyHall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DelaneyHall</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TriciaMcLaughlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TriciaMcLaughlin</span></a></p>
