Newark, New Jersey. Hundreds of protesters gathered this week outside Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention center where roughly 300 people are held, after detainees reportedly launched a hunger strike on May 22 and began alleging inadequate food, medical care and hygiene; ICE issued a public statement denying the existence of a hunger strike and asserting detainees receive meals and medical services. This week, the demonstrations prompted tense encounters with officers, three reported arrests, and claims that pepper spray was used; on Monday Gov. Mikie Sherrill was turned away from the facility, on Tuesday ICE defended conditions on X, and on Wednesday Democratic members of Congress toured Delaney Hall and met protesters and family members, calling for accountability and inspections.
