Eye-catching photos revealed cases of Spindrift seltzers, puzzles and games, plush toys, books, keffiyeh scarves and assorted signs stuffed into boxes or scattered around the Eyes of ICE mutual aid tent outside the Newark detention center.
Planters with wilting flowers were abandoned on foldable tables. Other boxes were overflowing with handwarmers and blankets, while some unused posters reflected Catholic imagery and references to the Virgin Mary.
