New Jersey Gubernatorial Hopeful Speaks at Rally Featuring CAIR Leader Who Justified Oct. 7
12th March 2025
New Jersey gubernatorial candidate and Newark mayor Ras Baraka (D.) spoke Tuesday at an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement rally that featured the Council on American-Islamic Relations New Jersey (CAIR NJ), an anti-Semitic group that justified the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Rallygoers gathered outside Delaney Hall, the Trump administration’s newly commissioned illegal immigrant detention facility in Newark, to protest its June opening. Several far-left groups participated, including the New Jersey Working Families Party, Make the Road New Jersey, and CAIR NJ, which has characterized Hamas’s attack as a prison break, calling it “inevitable” and “not unexpected.”
