Sherrill says immigration officials won\u2019t let her visit detention center"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p>Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey said Wednesday that federal immigration officials were continuing to bar her from entering a detention center in Newark, raising \u201cserious questions about what is happening behind its walls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=484\">Supreme Court \u201cpacking\u201d isn\u2019t radical. It has deep roots in American legal tradition.<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sherrill noted that she had met Tuesday evening with relatives of migrants being held at the Delaney Hall detention center, which has become a focal point of protest against President Donald Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown. She said that the relatives had shared \u201cheartbreaking reports of unsafe, inhumane and unconstitutional conditions\u201d inside the 1,000-bed jail.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cDetainees have requested to meet with me,\u201d Sherrill, a Democrat, wrote in a social media post, \u201cand I want to meet with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sherrill first attempted to enter the facility on Memorial Day but was turned away. On Tuesday, the state\u2019s attorney general, Jennifer Davenport, filed a lawsuit after state health officials were denied access to the medical unit and several other areas of the facility during an inspection.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sherrill\u2019s public rebuke Wednesday reflected the growing tension between New Jersey\u2019s elected leaders and federal immigration officials as demonstrations outside Delaney Hall have grown increasingly volatile in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Groups of mainly peaceful protesters have gathered daily outside the detention center since it reopened last year. But the crowds began to grow after detainees initiated what they have described as a hunger and labor strike on May 22 to draw attention to the conditions inside the facility, which is operated by the GEO Group, one of the country\u2019s largest private prison companies.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The situation escalated sharply over Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The authorities deployed tear gas and wielded batons as protesters resisted calls to disperse. Sherrill made the decision to send in state troopers on horseback and on foot, a tactic that has been sharply criticized by immigrant rights leaders. And the city of Newark temporarily imposed a curfew on the streets nearest Delaney Hall.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>On Wednesday evening, a contingent of demonstrators continued to keep vigil on a stretch of Doremus Avenue adjacent to one of the main gates at Delaney Hall. The crowd, numbering about 75, was peaceful, even festive. Some demonstrators bopped their heads to dance music, salsa, punk rock, rap and reggae.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>By law, members of Congress are authorized to conduct oversight visits at Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities at will. And tours of Delaney Hall by members of Congress are common.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But other public officials, including governors, must request permission from the nearest ICE field office, according to a February 2025 ICE memo.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=482\">\ud83d\ude9a Food trucks and affordability | Down the Shore<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said she had no immediate comment on the governor\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Earlier Wednesday, Rep. Analilia Mejia, a Democrat who represents New Jersey\u2019s 11th Congressional District, confronted Markwayne Mullin, Trump\u2019s homeland security secretary, about conditions at Delaney during a committee hearing in Washington.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>She said she had met with detainees during inspections who complained about \u201cpoor sanitation, spoiled food\u201d and a \u201clack of medical care.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI met detainees who not only were given their medication sporadically, or had their dosages lowered without consultation of their doctors, but I met detainees who were not even made aware of what medication they were given, just handed a bunch of pills,\u201d Mejia said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Mullin defended the care provided at ICE facilities, which he said have more medical staff members than most state prisons. It was a point that Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., also made last week after he toured Delaney Hall.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI saw good conditions, clean facilities, basic care and a detention center where ICE and DHS are doing a hard job that keeps our communities safe,\u201d Van Drew said in a statement. \u201cQuite frankly, the conditions I saw today are better than what you see in some nursing homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sherrill, a former member of Congress, made her opposition to Trump the centerpiece of her campaign for governor.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In March, New Jersey became one of the first states to pass a law that bars ICE agents from wearing masks while on duty. (The federal government filed a lawsuit the next month that seeks to block the law from being enforced.) Sherrill has also sued ICE over a planned detention center in a warehouse in Roxbury, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=480\">A single-block home search | Real Estate Newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><i>This article originally appeared in <\/i><i>The New York Times<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
