In a politically charged move that’s already sending shockwaves through the legal and political arenas, Democrat Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, has launched a lawsuit against Interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, accusing her of “false arrest and malicious prosecution.” The suit also targets Ricky Patel, a top Homeland Security official in Newark, alleging a gross abuse of power that violated Baraka’s constitutional rights.
