Authorities make arrests outside NJ ICE facility after curfew’s imposition

Authorities in New Jersey made several arrests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the state after protesters violated a curfew.Delaney Hall has been the site of major anti-ICE protests in recent days and even saw Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., enter the mix. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has condemned what he called a “political stunt” by Democrats at the facility.
The scope of Sunday evening’s arrests remains unclear, though Gov. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., confirmed that several persons in custody were agitators from out of the state, The Hill reported.
The curfew is in effect from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and state authorities confirmed that the arrests followed the demonstrators refusing numerous entreaties to leave the area.
Delaney Hall has been at the center of the anti-ICE protests in recent weeks as President Donald Trump continues with his mass deportation efforts, aiming to remove as many as 22 million people before he leaves office.
