Delaney Hall, Violent and Protesters
Digest more
A 26-year-old Morris County man has been charged with assaulting immigration officers — including kicking and biting them — during the ongoing protests outside the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark.
Advocates outside protested conditions. Detainees inside have staged a hunger strike. And federal officials called in New Jersey police at the gates.
Gov. Mikie Sherrill defended State Police who dispersed protesters Friday night outside Delaney Hall. Pro- and anti-ICE protesters returned Saturday.
As the federal government’s immigration crackdown moves closer to the Bay Area, about 100 people gathered Saturday afternoon at the Mexican Heritage Plaza in East San Jose to protest plans to build a detention center in Gilroy.
