U.S. Senator Andy Kim visited the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey, where he was restricted from speaking to detainees, a departure from his previous visits. This oversight visit followed his experience of being pepper-sprayed during a protest against the facility last month. Kim expressed concerns over the treatment of detainees, particularly after witnessing a woman in apparent distress. He noted that GEO Group, the private contractor managing the facility, did not provide him with information regarding detainee conditions. The detention center has been the center of controversy, with ongoing protests alleging inadequate medical care and unsanitary living conditions. Detainees have also engaged in hunger strikes to demand better treatment. Kim criticized the lack of transparency and the facility's limited medical staff, claiming there is only one full-time doctor for hundreds of detainees. New Jersey officials, including Governor Mikie Sherrill, have called for increased oversight and legal access to the facility to ensure health inspections and address the reported issues.
