Newark Implements Curfew Amid Protests at ICE Detention Center Over Detainee Conditions
Newark officials have imposed a curfew around the Delaney Hall ICE detention center following escalating protests and clashes between law enforcement and demonstrators. The protests began after detainees at the facility launched a hunger and labor strike, citing poor living conditions and alleged civil rights violations. The curfew, effective from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., aims to manage the unrest and is accompanied by road closures and checkpoints. State police have been deployed to maintain order, and several arrests have been made, including individuals found with weapons. The protests have drawn attention to the Trump administration's immigration policies, with activists and families of detainees holding vigils and attempting to block ICE vehicles.
