New Jersey Man Charged After Allegedly Biting 2 ICE Officers at Delaney Hall

Brendan John Geier, 26, was charged with assaulting federal officers after prosecutors said he bit one officer’s forearm and another’s knuckle.

  • On Thursday, authorities arrested Brendan John Geier, 26, of Madison, New Jersey, for allegedly assaulting federal officers outside Delaney Hall in Newark during an anti-ICE demonstration.
  • Demonstrators blocking a roadway leading to the detention center prompted deportation officers to form a line and advance after protesters ignored repeated commands to move back, continuing protests at the facility for over a week.
  • According to the Justice Department, Geier engaged in a struggle, "kicking officers and ultimately biting an officer's forearm, and another's knuckle," with both injured officers receiving hospital treatment.
  • Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated, "Peaceful protest doesn't translate to violently attacking federal law enforcement officers," while DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin pledged The Trump Administration's support for officers.
