New Jersey Takes Over Security as ICE Withdraws from Newark Detention Center Protests
TL;DR Summary
Federal agents will withdraw from the parking lot outside Newark’s Delaney Hall detention center, with New Jersey state police ready to oversee protests over detention conditions. The move comes after clashes that included pepper spray and a baton strike, with three protesters arrested as demonstrators confronted officers. Gov. Mikie Sherrill had refused to allow ICE expansion, prompting a shift to state oversight and the designation of a protest zone. DHS said force used was minimal, while demonstrators and the ACLU alleged detainee hunger strikes and mistreatment; DHS denied a hunger strike occurred, and no serious injuries were reported.
