New Jersey Takes Over Security as ICE Withdraws from Newark Detention Center Protests

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.

New Jersey pushes to front its name on MetLife World Cup signage

New Jersey is pressing to rearrange MetLife Stadium signage to put New Jersey ahead of New York in World Cup branding for the 2026 tournament, part of a joint host-city plan that originally labeled the venue 'New York New Jersey.' The move accompanies ongoing cost tensions, with NJ Transit projecting up to $48 million in World Cup-related transit expenses and Gov. Sherrill arguing FIFA should cover transport costs while highlighting New Jersey investments. The dispute also touches ticket allocations for residents and how benefits will be distributed between the two states as the region hosts eight matches, including the final.

NJ driver’s BAC dispute blocks bid to toss Gaudreau crash case

A New Jersey man, Sean Higgins, facing aggravated manslaughter and reckless vehicular homicide charges for allegedly mowing down NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother while drunk had his bid to dismiss the case denied. Higgins’ lawyers argued the BAC reading of .087 was inflated because a serum test was used instead of whole blood, and that the true BAC could be under .08 (roughly .075). A Salem County judge said BAC disputes are for a jury to decide at trial and left open the possibility of a hearing to challenge the testing method. Higgins, an Army veteran, could face up to 72 years in prison if convicted and is due back in court June 16.
