Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka did not enter a plea and will likely be scheduled for a July trial on the trespassing charge.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is scheduled to appear in federal court after his arrest outside an ICE facility​ last week.

Mayor Ras Baraka, a critic of Delaney Hall Detention Center’s opening in Newark, was accused of trespassing and ignoring warnings to leave, the Associated Press reported, leading to his arrest. He was released within hours, but the Department of Homeland Security soon accused the mayor of “storming” the facility gates.
