State police used riot gear, smoke bombs and horses to separate protesters as dueling rallies over Delaney Hall conditions continued.
- On Saturday, New Jersey State Police in riot gear separated opposing groups of protesters outside Delaney Hall in Newark, installing barricades to prevent clashes between ICE supporters and opponents.

- Security perimeters remain in place, blocking vehicle access from at least a half mile away, as authorities maintain this buffer zone to prevent further interactions between the dueling protest groups.
