'We understand why people are so afraid:' NJ Rep. Watson Coleman on arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka - Velshi - MSNBC
New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials while protesting outside an ICE detention facility alongside three Democratic members of the House, including Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ).
“There was no reason for locking up the mayor,” Representative Watson Coleman says. With the Trump administration cracking down on opposition, Representative Watson Coleman says that “we understand why people are so afraid to just walk the streets, to go to work, to drop their kids off to school.” - Aired on 05/10/2025.
