Governor Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey expressed her dissatisfaction with the limited access granted to her during a recent tour of Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention facility in Newark. After weeks of being denied entry, Sherrill described her experience as a "closely controlled and limited tour," which did not allow her to meet or speak with detainees. This restriction, she stated, raises serious concerns about the conditions and treatment of those held at the facility. In response to ongoing issues, including a hunger strike by detainees demanding better living conditions, the New Jersey Department of Health has filed a lawsuit seeking immediate access to the facility. Protests have occurred at Delaney Hall, leading to arrests by Newark police. Sherrill vowed to continue advocating for transparency and accountability from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including securing access for health inspections and opposing the construction of another detention facility in Roxbury, New Jersey. Senator Andy Kim also reported being denied access to detainees during his visit, echoing the call for direct communication with those affected.
