Curfew to Be Lifted Near Detention Center Where Protests Have Raged

In one video, one was nearly crushed under truck tires.

New Jersey state police in riot gear launched tear gas at protesters over the weekend as part of an aggressive response to protests in support of an ongoing hunger strike inside the Delaney Hall immigration jail.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests come amid violent protests outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, over illegal migrants' living conditions in the facility.

A lawsuit from the New Jersey Department of Health demands “immediate entry” to Delaney Hall after investigators were provided only limited access to the facility despite growing complaints from immigrant detainees, lawyers and families alleging overcrowded and inhumane conditions, including “potentially inadequate tuberculosis infection control practices.”
