Over the weekend, protests intensified outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, as detainees entered their fifth day of a hunger strike, raising alarming concerns about inhumane conditions including reports of expired food and neglected medical care. Tensions escalated when U.S. Senator Andy Kim was pepper-sprayed while participating in the protests, alongside New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, who was also denied access to the facility. Local officials and activists criticize ICE for its treatment of detainees, demanding accountability and immediate changes. As protests continue, demonstrators have formed barricades and clashed with federal agents, who have responded with pepper spray. The situation remains fluid as calls for a state investigation into the conditions at Delaney Hall grow louder.
