## Resource

Detainees at Delaney Hall in Newark are staging a hunger strike over dire conditions—including medical neglect, no air conditioning, and poor food—while Governor Sherrill pushes to shut down the illegal private facility. Tensions exploded when Senator Andy Kim was pepper sprayed by ICE agents while trying to enter the center, amid a standoff involving armored vehicles and armed officers. Advocates warn of retaliation against strikers, including threats of solitary confinement and cut visitation. Families plead for justice as state and federal officials clash over the facility’s future, with Essex County even setting up a protest tent—only for federal forces to escalate the situation. The governor and congressional delegation are rallying support for the detainees, who say they deserve humane treatment under New Jersey’s ban on private detention centers.
