Protests outside Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey, escalated into chaos on Saturday night as over 200 demonstrators clashed with State Police. Despite Governor Mikie Sherrill's plea for peace, tensions flared as protesters pushed against police barriers and shouted accusations of mistreatment towards detainees. The situation intensified when some protesters burned an American flag and lit a fire in the street, prompting police in riot gear to respond with gas and crowd control measures. The conflict follows a week of unrest, including an incident where U.S. Senator Andy Kim was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents. Governor Sherrill stated that deploying State Police was necessary to prevent further violence and maintain order. However, the protests are fueled by allegations of inhumane conditions within the detention center, where detainees are reportedly on hunger strikes. The situation has drawn attention to the ongoing national debate over immigration enforcement and the treatment of undocumented immigrants.
