Protests outside Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention center in Newark, continue to escalate as officials and demonstrators clash over conditions and public access. New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill faces criticism from protesters and some lawmakers who say she has not addressed what they describe as dire conditions inside the facility, including hunger and labor strikes involving at least 300 detainees. Multiple outlets report that Sherrill sought access to the facility but DHS/ICE denied her request, prompting further unrest outside. In response to the heightened tensions, NBC News reports that New Jersey establishes a protected, “peaceful” protest zone around the facility. NBC and The Hill also describe the governor coordinating with state police and reaching “common ground” with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on securing protests and maintaining order. CBS News reports that access was denied and that protests intensify following the denial. Separately, NBC News reports lawsuits targeting the private company said to operate or run the detention center, with allegations focused on conditions. Counterprotesters support ICE and also appear at the site during clashes.
