ICE agents are facing off with protesters and community members outside Delaney Hall in Newark as fears grow that hunger strike organizers are being transferred out of state.
NO OTHER OUTLET has covered Trump’s fascism more ON THE GROUND—including covering ICE terror in LA, NYC, FL, D.C., Chicago, Charlotte, and Minneapolis—than Status Coup. We MUST GROW our small dollar paid memberships to continue ON THE GROUND. Please support us for as low as $5/month.
Status Coup videojournalist Jon Farina is LIVE outside Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, where the situation is escalating on Day 4 of the hunger strike.
People detained inside Delaney Hall launched a hunger and labor strike after months of alleged abuses — including worms and moldy food, black mold, lack of privacy, delayed medical care, and dehumanizing treatment.
Martin Soto — a hunger strike leader whose wife Gabriela Soto has become a force of nature exposing conditions inside Delaney Hall — was transferred early this morning to Elizabeth Detention Center, another ICE detention facility in New Jersey.
Now, families and advocates fear ICE may be preparing to transfer more detainees to out-of-state detention centers in an attempt to break up the ongoing hunger strike.
We’re being told ICE agents have arrived with a BearCat-style vehicle and roughly a dozen law enforcement vehicles, with dozens of agents forming a perimeter outside the facility. Many agents appear to be masked, despite New Jersey’s law limiting face coverings by law enforcement.
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill was also reportedly denied entry today.
Absolutely horrendous conditions at Delaney Hall. Where is senator Cory Booker on this?
Fuck Ice
