Newark Mayor Ras Baraka orders a curfew around Delaney Hall, an immigration detention center in New Jersey, following days of protests and clashes between demonstrators and police. Multiple outlets report the curfew is imposed after a second consecutive night of unrest, with authorities citing safety and well-being concerns and the need for police intervention. The curfew applies within a set radius around the facility and is scheduled to take effect immediately, with some reports specifying nightly hours (such as 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) until further notice.
Several reports describe ongoing demonstrations by pro-immigrant groups and state police involvement, along with confrontations outside the center. Deutsche Welle and others also report that detainees at Delaney Hall are reportedly on a hunger strike over living conditions, which protesters cite as a reason for the rallies. Separate from the curfew, Al Jazeera reports that New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill calls for protest zones intended to reduce clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.
Taken together, the coverage shows local authorities escalating restrictions around the facility as unrest continues.
