The facts of this case will prove was I was simply doing my job and will expose these proceedings for what they are: a brazen attempt at political intimidation.

We wanted them to allow our inspectors to inspect the property and to apply for a certificate of occupancy. They don't have one.

"After extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka's misdemeanor charge of trespass for the sake of moving forward," Habba said in a statement.

He is running for governor. No one cares. This gets him some publicity. It's going to be fascinating. And I know, in the Constitution, George Washington, our Founding Fathers definitely wanted to make sure illegal criminals, murderers and rapists got their rights, especially when they don't deserve them.

"They're trying their best to humiliate and degrade me as much as they possibly can," Baraka said. "I feel like what we did was completely correct. We did not violate any laws."

Baraka stated, 'We were not protesting. I came down there to attend a press conference. The dispute is with GEO. It always has been with GEO.'

This is completely insane, and it's a scary moment in the history of this country as we watch democracy slip between our fingers.

Baraka committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon.
