Protesters Arrested at Immigration Detention Center as Tensions Rise For nearly a week, relatives of migrants at Delaney Hall have said that some detainees have been on a hunger strike at the New Jersey facility.

Days of protests outside a New Jersey immigration detention center, including clashes with federal law enforcement, continued Tuesday as demonstrators and lawmakers allege the facility, where detainees waged a hunger strike, has inedible food and lacks access to medical care.

The Department of Homeland Security said that there is no hunger strike at Delaney Hall and denied the allegations of conditions inside the facility.

Nearly 900 detainees were being held at Delaney Hall as of early April, according to ICE data.

Sen. Andy Kim said on social media that he “saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall.” “Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire” he said.

Beyond Delaney, there have been allegations across the country that detainees have limited or no access to timely medical care in immigration detention centers, as well as difficult conditions.
