New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) on Monday said she was denied access to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Newark amid protests outside the facility and a hunger strike within its walls.
The governor said being denied access to Delaney Hall, the detention center, raised “serious questions about what they are trying to hide from public view.”
“I have long opposed private detention facilities and will continue to advocate for the closure of Delaney Hall and against any expansion of mass detention facilities in New Jersey, like the proposed facility in Roxbury,” Sherrill said in a statement obtained by NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network. “I came today to hear from families and advocates, and what I heard from them was heartbreaking.”
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told The Hill that Sherrill’s visit to Delaney Hall was “nothing more than a political stunt on Memorial Day when visitation is currently suspended due to riots outside in the facility.”
