New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s attempt to gain access to a Newark immigrant detention center is being slammed as a “political stunt” as a standoff between federal agents and anti-ICE protesters took hold outside the facility.
Tensions rose both in and outside Delaney Hall over the weekend, as a hunger and labor strike among inmates carried on for a fourth day.
“Governor Sherrill’s visit to Delaney Hall is nothing more than a political stunt on Memorial Day when visitation is currently suspended due to riots outside the facility,” a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
“Yesterday, approximately 125 agitators surrounded Delaney Hall Detention Facility, many carrying anti-ICE signs and Antifa flags. They formed a human chain around entrances to the facility and set up barricades, blocking all entries and exits.”
Sherrill was denied access to the detention center Monday after several of her Garden State Democratic colleagues, including Sen. Andy Kim and Rep. Rob Menendez, toured the facility over the weekend.
Video circulating on social media shows Sherrill standing outside a locked gate topped with razor wire as a large group of protesters chant, “Let Sherrill in!”
Footage captured outside the facility shows several demonstrators defiantly seated side by side in an attempt to block the detention center’s main roadway, and a larger group squaring off with agents and chanting, “No more ICE!”

Trump is right. DemonicRATS are crazy. It’s a holiday. She be spending time with family. Making her husband a sandwich.
I thought it was named NICE now.
What a shame these politicians/people have nothing better to do on Memorial Day than be a pain in the ass to people who are working.
Ok, you don’t like ICE, or Trump, or America or anything, but can’t you take one day off from being @$$holes???
One holiday?
DHS needs to shut this attack by ANTIFA down before someone gets killed. It’s not really a protest. It is more like an enemy offensive.
Each time they let them get away with escalating their actions, the crowd becomes emboldened to push it a bit farther.
NJ, PA, CA — it feels like the government is fighting the government. We’ve been here before.
Whoever is in charge should tell them the world record for fasting is 382 days, we’ll discuss this matter in 383 days. And : thanks for saving us all that money on all those meals you elected to skip.

Almost every demoncrat politician hates America.
They have two goals——-destroy the USA and screw American citizens…..especially Donald Trump, Christians and Jews.
Donald Trump, Jews and Christians are their enemies.
They want us dead and gone because we’re not amenable to the cult brainwashing.
Not going to work.
These mentally ill lefties are a**holes 365 days a year,
366 days during a leap year.
“Let Sherrill in!” JUST don’t let her out.
The democrats think they are Angles Of Mercy ,LOL
Very true. Enabling Antifa defiance of the law, and the teens in the street takeovers, and the flash mob store robberies with “no arrests” is bad.
Leaving it to us to achieve justice is really almost as bad as the lawbreakers. Get out of the donut shops and get to work arresting the guilty.

Unreal. PUT AN END TO IT.

It’s time to seize the assets of the financiers of antifa and arrest them all.

Newark, N.J. (May 25) — Far-left extremists have shut down the area outside the Delaney Hall Detention Center and are chasing vehicles they suspect of being driven by federal agents.
Tacos, anyone?
