And why was Baraka there in the first place? Turns out the private prison facility is violating the law, but also unwilling to be served with legal process apple.news/AV9JgWB8fQq6...
Excerpt from a news article on NJ.com. Text reads: "Baraka and other city officials went to Delaney Hall to serve summonses on its private owner-operator, the GEO Group of Boca Ratón, Florida.

The summonses assert that GEO has refused to grant fire and code officials access to Delaney Hall and has placed a padlock on the gate, violating state law.

City officials had tried to serve the summonses on the GEO Group on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, when a company representative refused to accept them each time, forcing city officials to leave them on the gate, a retractable chain link fence topped with razor wire."
