According to New York Post<\/em>, local and state police established a security perimeter along Doremus Avenue, extending roughly a quarter mile around the Newark facility, blocking protesters from approaching the immigrant detention center and mounting an aggressive response to any disorder.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement announced a 9 p.m. curfew to disperse the crowd, which subsequently shrank to approximately 100 people. Officers in riot gear then advanced on the remaining demonstrators while shouting commands to move forward.<\/p>\n

Police deployed two rounds of tear gas toward protesters chanting slogans including “Give Peace a Chance” and “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist US,” scattering more demonstrators until roughly 50 protesters and journalists remained encircled.<\/p>\n

After press credential holders exited the perimeter, officers moved in and arrested between 20 and 25 remaining protesters. Police have not yet confirmed the precise number of arrests.<\/p>\n

Multiple arrests occurred in front of a wall vandalized with threatening graffiti reading “KILL ICE.”<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security released footage showing arrested protesters surrounded by riot-equipped officers being loaded onto Essex County Sheriff’s Department buses. Additional video captured a man being dragged by multiple officers from a barricade line, which DHS captioned: Don’t be this guy.<\/em><\/p>\n

The agency posted on X that rioters will face consequences and that law and order prevails.<\/p>\n

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka<\/strong> instituted a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew around Delaney Hall until further notice following intense violent confrontations between anti-ICE protesters and federal agents earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Individuals violating the curfew will receive an initial warning but will be removed and may face legal action if they refuse compliance, Baraka stated.<\/p>\n

Unrest has surrounded the immigration detention facility since at least May 22, after prominent Democratic officials, including New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill<\/strong>, expressed concerns about allegedly inhumane conditions at the facility and limited visitation access.<\/p>\n

Inmates inside the facility reportedly initiated a hunger strike over the conditions.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has responded that living standards at Delaney Hall exceed those at most U.S. prisons.<\/p>\n
