"I would have been out here a little earlier but they had me take my fingerprints and picture again.

So, you know, they tried their best to humiliate and demean and degrade, you know, me as much as they possibly can."

STORYLINE:
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said federal prosecutors him tried to “humiliate and degrade” him by making him give his fingerprints and take a mug shot for a second time after a court appearance on a trespassing charge stemming from his arrest at an immigration detention center.
Both Baraka and interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba appeared in court Thursday for a roughly 15-minute procedural hearing before Magistrate Judge Andre Espinosa.
The hearing covered mostly scheduling for discovery in the case.
The arrest happened Friday outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center.
A message was sent to the U.S. attorney’s office seeking a response to Baraka’s comment.
