Newark mayor sues Trump’s NJ prosecutor Alina Habba over ‘false arrest’ at immigration jail

Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka sued Alina Habba for defamation and malicious prosecution over his recent arrest at an immigration detention center.
President Donald Trump has tapped Habba, his former defense lawyer, to serve as acting interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
Habba’s office dropped its case against Baraka, but is still prosecuting another Democratic elected official who was also at the immigration facility.
