The lawsuit alleges Alina Habba violated Ras Baraka’s Constitutional rights, including his Fourth Amendment, First Amendment and Fifth Amendment rights.
On Monday evening, Alina Habba blasted Ras Baraka after his office ‘leaked’ that he was planning to file a lawsuit against the Feds.
“Shocking” leak from Mayor Baraka’s team: He is planning to sue the Feds.
My advice to the mayor – feel free to join me in prioritizing violent crime and public safety. Far better use of time for the great citizens of New Jersey.
