Delaney Hall Protests Continue as ICE Supporters, Opponents Hold Dueling Rallies Saturday
State police used riot gear, smoke bombs and horses to separate protesters as dueling rallies over Delaney Hall conditions continued.
- On Saturday, New Jersey State Police in riot gear separated opposing groups of protesters outside Delaney Hall in Newark, installing barricades to prevent clashes between ICE supporters and opponents.

- Demonstrators have rallied for days against alleged inhumane conditions and hunger strikes inside the 1,000-bed facility, while GEO Group officials rejected claims as "baseless accusations," citing around-the-clock medical care.
- The ACLU of New Jersey criticized the state's response, calling for protection of First Amendment rights rather than "overly militarized tactics," while supporters of the federal agency held a counter-rally.
- Security perimeters remain in place, blocking vehicle access from at least a half mile away, as authorities maintain this buffer zone to prevent further interactions between the dueling protest groups.
