This is *** complete fabrication. I mean, either she wasn't there was mis mis uh was misinformed or she's just straight out lying. I mean, you're talking about an 80 year old congresswoman, uh, another congresswoman, and Congressman Menendez, they, they grabbed, slammed no one, did no one stormed, uh, the place. There is *** video, first of all, there's videos from all angles, uh, that reporters have, as *** matter of fact. *** news agencies. There's *** video that shows the beginning of the incident all the way to the end that uh folks have who were out there taping and videotaping. Uh, when this thing comes completely out, you'll see how egregious these lies are. Um, nobody stormed anything. Those folks were, when I got there, they were already inside, escorted inside, uh, by Geo and ICE to *** booth to wait for Homeland Security folks to come and give them *** tour. Uh, you know, so, uh, I sat in there at least over an hour waiting, uh, on the other side of the gate for, uh, them to come out, you know, with, with no, uh, discussion, no talk, no one telling me to leave, nothing, zero. and was let in, by the way. So all of this stuff is, is, is *** fabrication, *** complete fabrication. Uh, this officer was sent there, the special agent in charge was sent there specifically to arrest me. Right Right. It's clear if you see the video, they riled it up, they escalated. I was there because, you know, ultimately we have *** dispute with Gia. I was, I've been there every single day in the morning, every day, uh, serving them with the fire inspector and the health inspector with UCC inspectors. We are in dispute in court, uh, serving them because they won't allow the fire inspectors entry into the property to do their inspections for certificate of occupancy. They won't allow them in. Uh, we go there every day and serve them. I was there that morning. I was called back to come down for *** press conference that the congress people were having after they viewed, uh, the inside so they could tell us about what was going on and I was going to participate in that press conference. That's why I was there, uh, and I have *** right to be there. I'm the mayor of the city of Newark. I have *** right to make sure that people are following our rules, our laws, uh, and that there's transparency. Uh, especially in *** private, uh, kind of facility like this. I came down here for that purpose only. Uh, the folk, the special agent in charge who came here escalated that situation, and I'm sure he escalated it because he was told to. Uh, and, and, and they came directly from me and, and this lie about more people were arrested, that's not true. There was only one person arrested that day and that was me. No one else was arrested. No one else was in the car, no one else was in cuffs. No one else sat in the ICE detention facility or Homeland Security detention facility, but me, that's it. No other protester, no protester was there, no congress people, no elected officials, no bystanders, just me.
