The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has publicly rebuked New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill after she declared success in restoring visitation rights at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark. Sherrill's announcement followed intense protests, including a hunger strike by detainees and violent confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement. DHS stated that visitation was only reinstated after the situation was stabilized, asserting that Sherrill's claims of having influenced the decision were unfounded. The protests intensified over the weekend, leading to the deployment of New Jersey State Police, who used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse crowds. Amidst the unrest, a curfew was imposed in the area surrounding Delaney Hall, highlighting the escalating tensions. Additionally, a group of House Democrats visiting the facility reported witnessing conditions they deemed inhumane, further complicating the narrative surrounding ICE operations.
