U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid on Ocean Seafood Depot in Newark, New Jersey, detaining three workers, including undocumented residents and U.S. citizens. Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka reported that the raid occurred without a warrant, and among those detained was a U.S. military veteran whose military documentation was questioned. The mayor condemned the action as a violation of the Fourth Amendment, stating that Newark would not stand idly by while people are unlawfully terrorized. The raid has sparked criticism from local and national Democratic lawmakers, who expressed deep concern over the operation and its impact on community fear. ICE reported a total of 538 arrests and 373 detainees on the day of the raid, though specifics on the Newark operation were not detailed.
