US EditionWhite House Criticizes Democrats for Storming ICE Facility
- On May 9, 2025, Democratic legislators and activists forcefully entered and blocked the gates of the Delaney Hall facility, an ICE detention site located in Newark.
- The protest followed repeated oversight attempts and disputes over GEO Group's permits and transparency at the privately leased $63 million facility housing detainees including alleged gang members.
- During the incident, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and three Democratic members of Congress from New Jersey entered the detention center without notifying officials beforehand, resulting in Baraka’s arrest for trespassing after he failed to leave despite several removal requests.
- DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated the group “stormed the gate,” putting law enforcement and detainees at risk, adding, “We actually have body camera footage” showing assaults on ICE officers.
- The incident intensified legal and political conflicts, with DHS considering further arrests of lawmakers while Democrats defended their actions as lawful oversight amid ongoing disputes over immigration enforcement.
