The former Marine combat leader who is now leading FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) told staff Friday that if they attempted to obstruct his plans for the agency, he would "run right over" them.

USA Today reported the call from FEMA Administrator David Richardson to all staff included references to his service and experience dealing with people who don't follow orders.

"I, and I alone in FEMA, speak for FEMA," Richardson reportedly said. "I'm here to carry out the president's intent for FEMA."

Richardson told staff during the call that when experiencing change, as many as 20% of staff in an organization will attempt to resist. He suggested that won't work with him.

"Obfuscation, delay, undermining. If you're one of those 20% of people," said Richardson, "and you think those tactics and techniques are going to help you, they will not, because I will run right over you."

With added emphasis, he said, "Don't get in my way – I know all the tricks."

Richardson's comments undoubtedly came across as a stark reminder to FEMA staff that streamlining, if not total closure of the agency, is at hand.

The Trump administration has targeted FEMA as an agency whose functions are better carried out by individual states.

Richardson reminded staff of that policy. "We're going to find out how to push things down to the states that should be done at state level."

As many as 2,000 FEMA employees have reportedly been fired or accepted termination offers since President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January.

Newark Mayor Protests, Arrested at ICE Detention Center

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at an ICE Detention Center where he was protesting its opening, a federal prosecutor said.

Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka committed trespass and ignored warnings from Homeland Security personnel to leave Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility run by private prison operator GEO Group.

The mayor has been protesting the opening of the facility throughout this week, saying its operators did not get proper permits. Baraka joined U.S. Democrat Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver at the facility on Friday to "conduct oversight.” The lawmakers were not arrested.

In her social media post, Habba said Baraka had “chosen to disregard the law.” She added that he was taken into custody.

An email and phone message left with the mayor’s communications office were not immediately answered Friday afternoon.

Baraka, a Democrat who is running to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy, has embraced the fight with the Trump administration over illegal immigration.

He has aggressively pushed back against the construction and opening of the 1,000-bed detention center, arguing that it should not be allowed to open because of building permit issues.

The two-story building next to a county prison operated as a halfway house before a February announcement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that it and the GEO Group reached a $1 billion, 15-year deal for a detention center there.

Baraka sued GEO Group soon after the deal was announced.

Columbia Suspends 65 Students After They Took Over Library

Columbia University placed at least 65 students on interim suspension Friday, and barred another 33 from campus after the anti-Israel protesters forced their way into the Butler Library reading room Wednesday and refused to leave, according to JNS.

Columbia University acting President Claire Shipman called in the NYPD to clear the reading room after the students involved would not identify themselves or disperse.

Shipman said Columbia's administration "spent substantial time working to defuse the situation in multiple ways, through Public Safety and Delegate visits to the students," as well as conversations with professors, before calling the police.

"I am enormously grateful for the many people we have in our community, our Public Safety officers, our faculty, our staff, and my team, who work so hard to make Columbia what we know it can be and should be for our community," Shipman said in a statement Wednesday. "I also made sure to be present when the police arrived; I wanted to see for myself how the operation would unfold, and I'm grateful that it was orderly, professional, and extremely limited, with a focus on the students who refused to leave the reading room."

Two of Columbia's Public Safety officers were injured in the unrest, a turn of events that Shipman called "outrageous."

"Sadly, during the course of this disruption, two of our Columbia Public Safety Officers sustained injuries during a crowd surge when individuals attempted to force their way into the building and into Room 301," she said in a statement to Fox News. "These actions are outrageous."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration was scrutinizing the visa statuses of the protesters involved in the library takeover, suggesting there would be a federal response in addition to Columbia's disciplinary action.

"We are reviewing the visa status of the trespassers and vandals who took over Columbia University's library," Rubio wrote in a post on X. "Pro-Hamas thugs are no longer welcome in our great nation."

The Washington Examiner reported that Columbia University Apartheid Divest helped organize the takeover of the library, which it temporarily renamed "Basel Al-Araj Popular University." The name was an apparent homage to an alleged terrorist who was killed by the Israel Defense Forces in 2017.

The protesters reportedly distributed pamphlets that celebrated Al-Araj as a champion of the Palestinian resistance movement.

"At the original Popular University project in the West Bank, Basel al-Araj taught about the Palestinian resistance and insisted that knowledge must serve liberation, not empire," the pamphlet shared with the Examiner read. "Today, we teach each other the stories our universities refuse to tell. We feed each other, protect each other, learn with and from each other. The Popular University is not only a demand for divestment."

In addition to divestment from Israel, the pamphlet called for the university to bar police and federal immigration authorities from Columbia's campus.
