Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba announced the dismissal, saying it was made \u201cfor the sake of moving forward.\u201d She also invited Baraka to tour the facility with her, assuring the public that \u201cthe government has nothing to conceal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"812\">Baraka, who is also running in the Democratic primary for governor, had entered the facility grounds with three congressional lawmakers during a protest as an ICE bus was arriving. DHS officials alleged that the group bypassed security and entered through open gates without authorization.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"1135\">While Baraka&#8217;s case has been closed, <strong data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"903\">Representative LaMonica McIver now faces charges<\/strong> of allegedly assaulting and interfering with law enforcement. A judge will determine when she must turn herself in. Baraka publicly defended McIver, calling her \u201ca dear friend\u201d and expressing confidence that she will be vindicated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1458\">The incident has stirred political tension in Newark and raised questions about public officials&#8217; conduct and accountability. DHS emphasized that elected status does not place individuals above the law, while Baraka reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring Delaney Hall follows local regulations and treats inmates humanely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newark Mayor Ras Baraka&#8217;s federal trespassing charge has been officially dropped after an incident earlier this month at Delaney
