Summary
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill and Sen. Andy Kim met with families of detainees at the Delaney Hall detention facility, which critics say should be shut down due to “unacceptable” conditions and an ongoing hunger strike. The lawmakers have asked ICE for access to the facility, where hundreds of illegal immigrants are being held. Protesters clashed with authorities outside the facility on Sunday, and some detainees have gone on a hunger strike to protest allegedly poor conditions. Sherrill and Kim have called for the closure of Delaney Hall, citing reports of squalid conditions and mistreatment of detainees.
