Newark Mayor Imposes Curfew Following Clashes at Immigration Detention Center
The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Ras Baraka, has implemented a curfew around Delaney Hall, an immigration detention center, following a series of confrontations between protestors and law enforcement. The curfew, effective from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., was announced after another night of intense standoffs where protestors clashed with police, who used riot shields to maintain order. The protests began earlier in the month, sparked by reports of detainees launching a hunger strike over poor conditions at the facility. The situation escalated with protestors reportedly using barriers as weapons and setting tires on fire. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill condemned the violence, emphasizing the need for peaceful advocacy for better conditions and the potential closure of the facility. The federal government has since reopened family visitations at Delaney Hall, which had been suspended due to the unrest.
