At least 20 people were reportedly arrested outside the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey on Sunday as anti-ICE protesters clashed with riot police.

Tensions flared after the mayor imposed a curfew around the detention center, which has been the site of regular demonstration in recent weeks as portesters say detainees inside have launched a hunger strike over poor conditions.

    I’m going to assume the “protesters clashing” was more like “protesters trying to defend themselves from assault”.

      The article about it that I read earlier described protesters as “armed” because they were wearing helmets, eye protection, and had gas masks.

    That’s a bit early. I didn’t expect them to setup the pretext for marshal law until early September…
