Delaney Hall

CMB Newark Statement On The Delaney Hall Uprising

June 18, 2025 Community Movement Builders - Newark, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
On Thursday, June 12th, 50 kidnapped immigrants revolted against their inhumane conditions at Delaney Hall, a private detention facility operated by GEO Group in Newark. By the time the tear gas settled, captives had torn down a wall, family visitation was cancelled, and protestors mobilized to interrupt facility operations from the outside. At least four captives successfully liberated themselves from their unjust detention. At the time of this writing, the actions of those inside, supported by solidarity actions on the outside, have increased the urgency in calls to shut Delaney down.

This past weekend, dozens of artists, activists, and faith leaders hit the road with the “Freedom Ride” caravan in response to the Trump administration’s broad attacks on democratic rights, including ICE raids that have sparked nationwide protests. The caravan departed on Sunday, June 8, from the controversial Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, and has since made stops in Washington, DC as well as Durham and Charlotte in North Carolina. In the next few days, the caravan convened by IFCO/Pastors for Peace, the Interfaith Center of New York, the People’s Forum, and the Riverside Church, will continue onto Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama, to finally end up in Jena, Louisiana – outside of the ICE detention facility where pro-Palestine activist and Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil has been detained for months.

Reports indicate that around 50 detainees at Delaney Hall, Trump’s newly opened ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, staged an uprising against inhumane conditions on Thursday, June 13. According to reports by New Jersey law enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security, and detainees’ lawyers, four men escaped the facility amid the unrest. There had reportedly been discontent at the ICE detention facility for days due to inhumane conditions, including reports of insufficient food, scalding hot undrinkable tap water, and lack of staff. “We had some members of our community come out and tell us that their family members were not being given food,” said immigrant rights organizer Ana Paola Pazmiño, the executive director of Resistencia en Accion NJ.

New Jersey’s Movement Against ICE Detention Is Not Going Away

New Jersey’s newest immigrant detention center, Delaney Hall, sits deep in the arteries of Newark, where shipping containers are stacked on top of each other in every direction. The air smells like sewage and the roads surrounding the center are constantly filled with truckers driving around. None of this has deterred activists from holding daily vigils outside of Delaney Hall. These actions, organized by a seasoned coalition of pro-immigrant rights groups in the state, have now been going for over a month. By now, the existence of Delaney Hall has become national news following the high-profile arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
