​

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is visiting New Jersey today amid renewed scrutiny toward Delaney Hall, the immigrant detention facility in Newark.

Jeffries will hold a roundtable discussion with “former Delaney Hall detainees and family members of individuals killed while in ICE custody,” according to a joint release from his office and Mejia’s. It will be followed by what they described as a “press availability on inhumane ICE detention at Delaney Hall.”

Democrats have been calling for the closure of the facility, which is run by the private prison company GEO Group, since it reopened last year. Last week, New Jersey announced a civil rights investigation into Delaney Hall after a Salvadoran man being detained there died while experiencing a medical emergency.

Jeffries has been an outspoken critic of Delaney Hall. If Democrats regain control in either chamber of Congress next session, they plan to investigate and pursue repercussions for the Trump administration and private companies running the facility, Gothamist reported Monday.

The Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly pushed back against Democrats’ assertions that the facility is not providing adequate living conditions to detainees.

Hackettstown ICE raid may have broken federal law...

Since I know reddit, before you question the sources...we deemed the source to be credible enough to share the information and this kind of transaction will have receipts. That's why we're trying to get attention so we can have our state and federal reps investigate. And regardless of anything else, they abducted a lot of people in one day, and the community is scared. This needs to end.

GEO Group employee maces protestor on public property...

Yesterday (8/8) other members of the Sussex Visibility Brigade stood watch with others outside Delaney Hall, ICE camp owned and operated by GEO group, a for-profit prison company pocketing our tax dollars while they neglect and abuse innocent people within its walls.

About 70 people, including the Brass Uprising band, brought music and solidarity to the community that keeps vigil outside.

They bore witness as several busses came into Delaney and one came out, full of people who are either being transferred or deported.

Inside one of the busses, someone could be seen waving. How they must feel being abducted and then moved, possibly very far from home.

Of course, GEO guards have gotten more violent with week after week of having ICE as their personal thugs. Now they pepper spray and slap people when they are on public property and being nonviolent. Before you argue, public property extends up to the gate. Some hero paid for the survey. Employees of a private company are assaulting members of the public.

Ask Governor Mikie Sherrill and Mayor of Newark Ras Baraka, when are GEO group employees going to face consequences?
