You gotta love how this guys city is currently in the news for terrible reasons like idk multiple instances of their airport losing contact with planes trying to land so he does something as stupid as this. Whatever he hoped to achieve he definitely didnt because now people who havent seen the whole air plane issue will now be exposed to it. Love how some politicians just do not think the law applies to them.... just absurd.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested after he trespassed and "ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon." "He has willingly chosen to disregard the law," she said, adding "that this will not stand in our state."

In the social media age, we get politicians whose main skill is calling attention to themselves.
If we want better leaders who are actually capable of governing, we have to find ways to identify those people and actually elect them.

Sometimes rulers think they're untouchable... And here they aren't!!! That'll teach you a lesson in your position!

Do mayors have anything to do with airport operations? I'd assumed that was the FAA in this context.

To be honest it really depends. If the airport is owned by the city then possibly….
