6 protesters arrested after clash with ICE officers outside a New Jersey detention center
The crowd topped 100 as protesters blocked roads and several people were detained amid disputes over conditions and enforcement at the facility.
- Chaotic scenes intensified Thursday outside Delaney Hall as more than 100 protesters blocked roads and clashed with federal agents attempting to enter the privately operated center, which activists believe houses roughly 900 detainees.
- Earlier this week, New Jersey Democrat Mikie Sherrill and several members of Congress tried to enter the facility following reports of a detainee hunger strike, though Sherrill was denied access.
- The Department of Homeland Security reported six arrests Wednesday for alleged assault, while denying hunger strike reports and stating, "We will not allow violent rioters to slow ICE down."
- Following calls to shut down the facility, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey issued statewide guidance Thursday for organizations managing interactions with federal immigration authorities, while Sen. Andy Kim condemned the reported detainee treatment.
- Advocates and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka continue to challenge federal management, as the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey executive director Amol Sinha attributed the ongoing unrest to "inhumane conditions.
