Despite losing his bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination last week, progressive Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was recently arrested outside an ICE facility during a protest, is likely not finished in New Jersey politics, according to political strategists from both sides of the aisle.According to a New Jersey political insider, Baraka is likely to even be tapped by the now-Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mikie Sherrill for the lieutenant governor role, the No. 2 spot in the state.Mayor of Newark since 2014, Baraka has garnered a reputation as a progressive. It was his arrest outside an ICE detention facility in Newark on May 9, however, that propelled him to the national stage.Baraka filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba this month, accusing her of "false arrest and malicious prosecution" in connection with the incident.WHO IS THE DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASSING AT AN ICE DETENTION CENTER?He was one of several public officials, including Democratic Reps. Robert Menendez, LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman, who allegedly rushed past security through the gates of the facility with a group of protesters, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Security.The U.S. attorney's office has since dismissed the case against Baraka "for the sake of moving forward."Kenny Gonzalez, executive director of the New Jersey Republican State Committee, told Fox News Digital that "the day that his arrest happened, [Baraka] really did become a hero of New Jersey's Democrat Party."Barakas campaign took full advantage of the moment, even beginning to send fundraising messages to supporters while he was still incarcerated, according to Politico.Politico reporter Matt Friedman posted a screenshot of a text message from Barakas campaign that reads in all caps "RAS BARAKA HAS BEEN ARRESTED" and "Ras was at Delaney Hall today demanding entry into the ICE detention center where Trump and MAGA extremists are illegally detaining people."The message went on to say, "Ras is ready to do whatever it takes to stop Trump and protect New Jerseyans from his extreme agenda. We need you with us now more than ever. Donate now."ICE BREAKOUT IN NEW JERSEY SYMPTOM OF DEMOCRATIC CHAOS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, LOCAL GOP LEADER SAYSGonzalez explained that "almost every Democrat elected official, including all of his primary opponents for governor, came out against what had happened, calling it some sort of injustice and saying that it was wrong.""I do believe that we were correct in predicting that this stunt would actually boost him, and it really did," said Gonzalez. He said that though early polling had Baraka in a distant third place, the Newark mayors performance, coming in second with 20.6% of the vote, "was really the big news of the night.""Mikie Sherrill spent millions and millions more dollars than he did. So it's no surprise that she emerged as the primary winner. But Ras Baraka was a distant third place, and he came in second," said Gonzalez. "So the stunt definitely boosted him, and I think to this day he remains very, very popular among the Democrat Party."HOMELAND SECURITY REVEALS IDENTITIES OF THE 4 PUBLIC SAFETY THREATS WHO ESCAPED NEWARK ICE FACILITY"I wouldn't be surprised if Mikie Sherrill picks Ras Baraka to be her lieutenant governor candidate," he said."He put up a formidable performance, and he's an African-American politician who has very deep ties to many urban communities," he went on. "Mikie Sherrill couldn't even win her own home county. So I think she should probably pick somebody who did."Gonzalez is optimistic that Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, can flip the New Jersey governorship back red."What Ras Baraka did was he failed to fulfill his responsibility as mayor of Newark he put illegal immigrants over Newark citizens," he said. "There are so many other issues that New Jerseyans face, such as high property taxes, unsafe neighborhoods, a school funding formula that hasn't worked in many years. So I believe that commonsense voters think that Ras Baraka should have focused his campaign a little bit more on that."US ATTORNEY ALINA HABBA ANNOUNCES REP MCIVER HIT WITH FEDERAL CHARGES OVER NEWARK ICE CLASHMeanwhile, Kevin Hagan, a New Jersey Democratic political strategist and advisor, told Fox News Digital that "Baraka certainly created a campaign that not only gained attention but earned an impressive result of votes on Election Day."Hagan credited Barakas success not to the Delaney Hall protest and arrest but to "his willingness to take on President Trump and his policies but also bring to the forefront issues important to the Democratic Party on education, affordability and quality of life in the state."Hagan said that based on how well Baraka ran his campaign, he should "certainly" at least "be considered as a potential candidate.""But what's important now is the Sherrill campaign and the congresswoman deciding on who is best to be her partner, to see the campaign's way to victory in November, but more importantly, a partner to govern in January," he said.TRUMP NOT ON BALLOT, BUT PRESIDENT FRONT AND CENTER IN NEW JERSEY'S PRIMARY FOR GOVERNOROn whether Democrats will be able to pull off a win in November, Hagan pointed out that over the last 32 years, New Jersey has been governed for 16 years by a Democrat and 16 years by a Republican."So, from a partisan perspective," he said, "Democrats can take nothing for granted in their effort to maintain control of the governor's office."

Caitlin Clark put the rest of the WNBA on notice as she returned to the Indiana Fever lineup with a vengeance and upended the New York Libertys undefeated streak on Saturday night.Clarks 32-point victory in the 102-88 win gave Indiana its fifth win of the season. Clark made seven 3-pointers, including three in a 38-second span that even shocked former Liberty star Rebecca Lobo.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Basketball Hall of Famer talked about Clarks performance and what she means to WNBA viewership as the league saw numbers dwindle a bit in her absence."It means a lot more people are paying attention once again," Lobo said Monday on ESPNs "First Take," via Awful Announcing. "We know how much Caitlin drives ratings. We know how much Caitlin drives attention on the WNBA. For her to come back and do it in that way was just ridiculous."Im sitting there at the end of the first quarter when she had that 38-second stretch where she drained deep three after deep three after deep three. I was just sitting there thinking, Ive been around this league since 1997. I have never seen that in a WNBA game. Have we seen players go on runs? Of course, we have, but not like that, not where a couple of the 3-pointers are from 30-plus feet."CAITLIN CLARK RETURNS FROM INJURY WITH A VENGEANCE; LIBERTY'S PERFECT RECORD FALLSThe Fever pointed out just how deep Clarks range was.Three of her 3-pointers came from beyond 30 feet. She hit the rest from at least 26 feet. The WNBA 3-point line is 22 feet away from the basket."It was an exhibition by her after being out for 19 days to recover from an injury," Lobo added. "Couple that with the other passes that she made and some of the other plays, it was just ridiculous. Its not often that youre watching the WNBA, or that Im watching it, and Im like, Wow, Ive just never seen this before."Indiana returns to the floor Tuesday night against the Connecticut Sun.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A California dentist who treated a 9-year-old girl hours before she died following a routine procedure was placed on probation years prior for another procedure mishap, documents show.Back in 2020, Dr. Ryan Watkins was disciplined over a 2016 incident in which a 54-year-old mans heart stopped after Watkins put him under anesthesia during a dental procedure.According to a complaint filed with the Dental Board of California, Watkins engaged in "unprofessional conduct" after "clearly excessively administering drugs or treatment" to the patient, identified only as "MK."The man had seen Watkins approximately three times before the dental surgery and was considered to be in "excellent health" and was a triathlete.A BERLIN DOCTOR HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH THE KILLINGS OF 15 PATIENTS UNDER PALLIATIVE CAREHowever, it was noted that the victim had a low resting heart rate, dental phobia and had a history of fainting, which the complaint said Watkins did not investigate or document.The patient's heart stopped during the surgery where Watkins began CPR to revitalize it until EMS arrived, the documents said.Hospital staff noted that the victim's ribs were fractured due to Watkins performing chest compressions on him. The man was later diagnosed with a mild neurocognitive disorder caused by cardiac arrest, records show."A doctor concluded that the administration of ephedrine likely caused MK's tachycardia (increased heart rate above 100 bpm) that would have subsided and that the use of adenosine was unnecessary and caused MK's heart to stop (asystole)," the documents read.Watkins was placed under probation for 35 months by the California Dental Board, which still allowed him to keep working at the practice as long as he complied with additional requirements and oversight.According to the decision, Watkins was also ordered to pay more than $19,000 to cover investigative and prosecution costs.GIRL DIES AFTER TRIP TO THE DENTISTWatkins confirmed the previous incident to Fox News Digital, stating that "emergency protocols were immediately activated" once the patient developed cardiac arrhythmia during the procedure."Following this incident, regulatory proceedings were initiated. Throughout this process, we maintained that comprehensive safety protocols were followed, all medications were administered according to manufacturer guidelines based on the patient's age and weight, and the patient received continuous monitoring," Watkins explained in a statement.He added that "in an effort to resolve the matter and focus on patient care," a settlement was reached without admission of wrongdoing and probation orders were completed.Watkins is still practicing at Dreamtime Dentistry and reiterated that he was not at fault for 9-year-old Silvanna Moreno's death and not aware of her health issues."The coroners report showed her death to be an accident due to a pre-existing medical condition of which none of the parties were aware prior to the procedure," the statement from Watkins read."While the Medical Examiner has ruled this an accident, we take this outcome with the utmost seriousness," the statement continued.Watkins added that a thorough internal review of Moreno's case is being conducted and that they are consulting with leading experts in dental anesthesia to ensure patient safety is provided."The safety and well-being of our patients will always remain our highest priority. We are committed to learning from this tragic event and will implement any additional safety measures that may help prevent such occurrences in the future," Watkins said.Moreno had been referred to the practice for dental treatment under general anesthesia "due to her young age and situational anxiety," on March 18, where she was seen by Watkins, according to a previous statement obtained by Fox News Digital.VACATION ABROAD TURNS TRAGIC FOR AMERICAN NURSE AFTER ACCIDENT LEAVES HER 'ALL METAL'Watkins said that "the dosage administered was appropriate for the patient's age and weight, following established medical protocols.""Any interactions or negative side effects were not due to dosage but instead due to her rare but undiagnosed/undetected medical condition," Watkins shared in a statement with Fox News Digital.According to an autopsy report from the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office, authorities ruled that her manner of death was an accident caused by "methemoglobinemia in the setting of recent nitrous oxide administration.""We are profoundly saddened by the tragic loss of Silvanna Moreno, and our hearts continue to go out to her family during this incredibly difficult time," Watkins said.
