Protests outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey, intensified over the weekend, leading Governor Mikie Sherrill to deploy state police to manage the situation. The governor warned that many protesters were from outside the state, including members of extremist groups, and urged them to leave. Sherrill emphasized that New Jersey would protect the right to protest but would not tolerate violence. The protests, which have drawn around 300 anti-ICE demonstrators and 200 supporters of ICE, have been marked by confrontations and arrests. Law enforcement set up barricades to separate the opposing groups, as tensions rose amid accusations of poor conditions inside the facility. The Department of Homeland Security condemned the violence against its officers, while the GEO Group, which operates Delaney Hall, denied allegations of mistreatment of detainees. The situation has gained national attention, with figures from the Trump administration criticizing the federal response and calling for stronger actions to restore order.
