Alina Habba on the Mayor Ras Baraka Arrest: ‘The Mayor Did Not Have the Right’ To Be Inside the ICE Detention Facility

‘The mayor was inside the facility and was warned and asked to leave several times’

EXCERPT:

HABBA: “If you look at these individuals’ Twitter accounts, they have been openly saying they are going to go in. There is a reason these Congresspeople are standing out there running them up and running their mouths as usual, but however, I will tell you this, the mayor was inside, was told he was going to be under arrest. Inside, when he refused to leave after several obligations — several notifications that he should remove himself, chose not to do so, and then was placed under arrest when he walked out of the facility. So, while I love this game, the game and the tactics of these individuals that are perfectly fine and we’re not touched, I will say very clearly, the mayor did not have a right to be there.”
