Latest updates on Delaney Hall protests
Gov. Mikie Sherrill deployed New Jersey State Police to the area outside Delaney Hall, a private U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark. She said there is a need to protect public safety and avoid escalation from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has surged in the area.
Meanwhile, advocates and elected officials say some people have been detained for months without scheduled hearings, and others are being pressured to sign documents for deportation or voluntary departure.
The Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, denied that a hunger strike was taking place at Delaney Hall, run by GEO Group.
As tensions rise inside and outside Delaney Hall, the facility has become a symbol of President Donald Trump’s expanding immigration crackdown and rapid expansion of immigrant detention centers.
