Congress Members Highlight Dire Conditions at New Jersey Detention Center Amid Protests
Democratic members of Congress have reported dire conditions at Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey. Representatives Jerry Nadler, Dan Goldman, and Adriano Espaillat described the facility as inhumane, citing issues such as inadequate food and medical care. Protests have been ongoing outside the center, with demonstrators claiming detainees are on a hunger strike. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has denied these allegations, asserting that detainees are receiving adequate nutrition. The protests have been marked by tension, with incidents involving pepper spray and arrests. The facility, managed by a private prison company, has been a focal point for immigration rights protests.
