More than a dozen protesters were arrested Sunday in protests outside a New Jersey Immigration facility that brought confrontations with law enforcement over the weekend, multiple reports show.
Cops were seen with riot gear and shields fending off crowds around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Delaney Hall detention facility over the weekend in Newark, according to newsoutlets and on-the-ground footage. Videos also captured demonstrators wearing what appeared to be gas masks in preparation for being gassed by police.
The crowd was in violation of a curfew order meant to crack down on unrest outside the facility, The New York Post reported. Other rioters set police barricades on fire the night before, according to footage from journalist Julio Rosas.
“The mass arrest bus is officially being LOADED here in Newark with rioters in their EXPENSIVE KITS being taken into custody,” journalist Nick Sortor said in a Sunday night X post showing footage. His video showed officers lining up multiple arrestees wearing face or gas masks in front of a police van. The Sunday night arrests rose to 20, the New York Post reported.
