New Jersey imposes curfew at ICE detention center after violent protests erupt
New Jersey imposes curfew at ICE detention center after violent clashes erupt between protesters and police.
Newark’s mayor has enforced a nightly curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. around the Delaney Hall immigration detention center, following days of escalating protests that turned violent over the weekend. New Jersey State Police deployed tear gas and mounted officers to disperse over 200 demonstrators late Saturday, as tensions flared over detainee conditions and immigration enforcement . The curfew, announced Sunday, applies to a blocked-off area including the facility and remains in effect indefinitely .
Governor Mikie Sherrill has called for designated protest zones to reduce confrontations with law enforcement, while families of detainees report conflicting information about restored visitation rights. Visits were suspended last week after detainees launched a hunger strike, prompting heated demonstrations outside the center . The U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed partial reinstatement of visitation on Sunday, though details remain unclear .
Protests intensified after a New Jersey senator, Andy Kim, was pepper-sprayed during an ICE demonstration. Kim warned that the state could face violence on the scale of the 2020 Minneapolis unrest if tensions persist . The clashes follow a week of unrest, including a curfew order by Newark’s mayor and reports of aggressive policing tactics .
The protests coincide with broader national debates over ICE funding, as Congress weighs additional resources for immigration enforcement amid rising public dissent.
