Statement by Governor Phil Murphy on the Arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka
I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.
Over the past few months, Mayor Baraka, as well as advocates, faith leaders, and members of our Congressional delegation, have protested the opening of a private immigration detention center in the city of Newark. Four years ago, I was proud to sign a law banning private immigration detention centers in New Jersey. And just last week. my Administration was leading the fight to defend that law before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mayor Baraka is an exemplary public servant who has always stood up for our most VulnerΙk. neighbors. am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

One Hundred Days of Republican Complicity
Read more here.
While it is understandable to focus attention on Trumpβs attacks on democracy and the rule of law, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trumpβs actions is a mistakeβboth legally and strategically.

βThat they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francisβs coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,β said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. βThey are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.β
The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late popeβs mission of inclusion and outreach.
