On Saturday, pro-ICE supporters rallied outside Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, to show solidarity with federal agents amid ongoing demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The event featured approximately 200 pro-ICE supporters, including John Raftery, who emphasized the agency's role in protecting Americans, and Tim Walsh, a GOP candidate, who voiced support for law and order. In contrast, around 300 anti-ICE protesters called for an end to raids and criticized the conditions for detainees, which the Department of Homeland Security denies. The two groups were separated by barricades, leading to heated exchanges and chants from both sides. New Jersey state police established 'peace zones' to restore order after previous nights of violence, where protesters had clashed with law enforcement, leading to the use of tear gas and pepper spray. The Proud Boys, a far-right group, also joined the pro-ICE side, claiming they were delivering cookies to the agents. The situation reflects ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement in the region.
