In New Jersey, a dangerous car chase involving ICE agents who attempted to make an arrest Thursday ended in a multi-vehicle crash in Newark that left three children injured. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka condemned ICE’s operation as reckless, saying New Jersey state law prohibits law enforcement from engaging in car chases unless there’s an immediate threat. In a statement on social media, Mayor Baraka said, “Based on the damage they are inflicting on our communities, ICE has no business engaging in chases at any time, anywhere — but especially in densely populated areas, and on roads still being cleared from a significant snowstorm.” Baraka was arrested last year while protesting outside the troubled New Jersey Delaney Hall ICE jail. The charges were later dismissed.
