Things Do Not Go Well for Dem Senator When He Shows Up at Detention Center Amid Anti-ICE Action
Red State ^ | May 25, 2026 | Nick Arama

Most Americans are spending time with their families this weekend for Memorial Day, remembering and honoring those who gave their lives for our country.

But some were busy doing other things. For example, there were activists at the ICE detention center in Newark, N.J., over the weekend. Democratic politicians also made an appearance. Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) was trying to get into the facility on Sunday.

Kim was back on Monday. Gov. Mikie Sherrill also showed up.

A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said Kim personally called Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and that he was allowed in the facility to conduct his congressional oversight responsibilities. However, the spokesperson criticized Sherrill over the appearance at the detention center.

"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," the 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."

The activists were at it again on Monday. Here's one digging up large blocks to help add to their blockade of an exit from the facility.

Here's the blockade they assembled, with all the random garbage they were able to grab.

They were chanting, "Quit your job," and "Why are you hiding your face?" at the federal agents — even though some of the activists were wearing masks. The hypocrisy seemed to escape them.

Kim was telling the activists to let the agents through the blockades, saying he would make sure there were no detainees in the vehicles. Here on X.

Police reportedly had to deploy pepper spray, and carted away some of the agitators. Here on X.

And it looks like Kim may have been affected.

This was the same facility where Democrats created a scene last year. Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) was later indicted on charges related to that incident.

DHS denied there were any bad conditions in the facility,

All detainees are provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, and toiletries, "DHS said.

"Illegal aliens also have access to phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers," the agency said. "Certified dieticians evaluate meals. In fact, ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens."

Sherrill 9s Mamdani level corrupt and incompetent. She is the poster child for the SAVE act. No way she won by 14%. Stupid cow.

There are more and more illegals in Jersey every day it seems. Sanctuary for criminals. Go to a gas station and they don’t speak English. Same with convenience stores, and I see them in Walmart’s and other department stores. They can’t tell the difference between 15 and 50, pump the wrong type of gas and give back the wrong change. I was asked by a security person in a Walmart to see my receipt. He barely spoke English. WTF? I’m now being questioned by someone who shouldn’t be in the country, let alone having the job an American citizen should have. Hunterdon County and North Western Jersey is still mostly conservative, but I doubt it will last. A damn shame.

Which speaks to the domestic terrorist nature of these groups. These brown-shirts want to dox agents and employees for doing their job, but they don’t want to be doxed or identified.
The first amendment protects your right to assemble, and hold signs, and get your message out there. It does not give you the right to attack, intimidate and harass, and particularly not with anonymity.

I can’t understand why some enterprising law enforcement agency hasn’t started tracking these commies back to where they live or are staying.

I would think that could provide a treasure trove of intelligence about their future plans, movements and especially who they are.

If we get a workable majority in Congress after midterms stronger legislation with stronger penalties needs to be passed for interfering ICE and other Federal LE operations. Apparently too many people need to be reminded of the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution.

My state is a complete and total embarrassment, mostly because of our “leadership”. Andy Kim is a clown, but somehow less vomitous than Spartacus. Mikie should be ashamed of herself. A Naval Academy grad pulling this stunt on Memorial Day. I’m sure a few of her classmates lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, as ours have. Way to pay respects and honor their memory by siding with illegals. She’s disgusting.

I think that instead of waiting for the polls to close to cheat, they cheated in advance- if I recall correctly, they called the election for her at 6pm.

Stupid cow.

Not really, she was able to insider trade her way to $7 million. Mooooooo....

Nobody around here seemed to care much about the Supremacy Clause when there were significant efforts to enforce the laws against militias and terrorist groups like the Branch Davidians or the kooks who forcibly seized the bird sanctuary in Oregon.

For sure. They like to play dumb but know exactly what they are doing.
