The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency confirmed the “targeted enforcement operation” at a worksite in Newark, which is a sanctuary city.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a Newark, New Jersey, business venue on Thursday and detained undocumented immigrants as well as U.S. citizens without warrants, the city's mayor said.

A New Jersey mayor says his city has been “unlawfully terrorized” after federal agents detained multiple people Thursday during what Immigration and Customs Enforcement called “a targeted enforcement operation.

Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka issued a statement late Thursday afternoon denouncing the raid as an “egregious act” conducted without a warrant and in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees “the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka confirmed in a statement that the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided a business establishment in the city.

ICE said it conducted a 'targeted enforcement operation at a worksite' in Newark but did not disclose details. The owner of a restaurant said three of his workers were taken into custody.

A U.S. veteran and Americans who are Navajo have been asked for identification. Critics are complaining of racial profiling as raids and deportations increase.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka called the ICE raid an 'egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.'

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents appear to have stepped up their detention of unauthorized immigrants, taking more than 500 people into custody on Thursday, almost twice the average number of daily arrests late last year.

John Perumbalath, bishop of the English city of Liverpool, has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman and harassing another, Channel 4 reported on Tuesday, in the latest scandal to hit the Church of England in recent months.

A mayor claims Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested a U.S. citizen who served in the military during a raid just days into President Donald Trump’s promised mass deportation operation.

U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-10th District, said her office had asked agency officials for answers. “Already, Trump’s attacks on immigrant communities are hitting home, and we will not back down,” she said.
