Media: NBC News
Summary: New Jersey officials and immigrant rights advocates condemned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for conducting a warrantless workplace raid at a small business in Newark. ICE agents arrested three undocumented workers and detained U.S. citizen employees at Ocean Seafood Depot. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka expressed anger and disbelief at the raid, especially in a state with sanctuary policies limiting cooperation with immigration authorities. While ICE confirmed the raid, it did not disclose how many people were arrested. The raid is part of a broader increase in ICE arrests, with 538 people arrested nationwide on Thursday alone, signaling the beginning of President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
