Clergy vigil in support of immigrants draws a big crowd

  • Approximately fifty religious leaders affiliated with Faith in New Jersey and Faith in Action gathered Monday outside Newark's Delaney Hall Detention Center, joining arms and chanting during their demonstration.
  • The protest followed a Friday incident where Democratic lawmakers and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka breached the facility's gates and Baraka was arrested for trespassing.
  • The clergy vowed to block entry until arrested and held prayers condemning detainee conditions, while ICE officials cited the detainees' criminal records and denied permit violations.
  • The ICE Director informed Fox that three-quarters of the individuals held at the facility are involved in criminal matters, either through past convictions, current charges, or alleged offenses. Additionally, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary McLaughlin emphasized that the detention center contains individuals accused or convicted of severe crimes, including murder, terrorism, sexual offenses against children, and membership in the MS-13 gang.
  • The ongoing protests highlight deep tensions over immigration policies and suggest further legal actions against demonstrators and continued activism.
