Tensions escalated in Newark, New Jersey, as police arrested at least 20 protesters outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center after they allegedly violated a newly imposed curfew. Authorities closed off a section of Doremus Avenue around the facility as officers moved to prevent demonstrators from reaching the detention center following weeks of escalating protests. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced the curfew in an effort to restore order, warning that individuals who refused to comply could face removal and possible legal action. The crackdown came after state officials reported confrontations between protesters and law enforcement near designated protest zones. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill condemned what she described as dangerous actions by some masked individuals, alleging that projectiles were thrown, barriers were used as weapons, and tires were set on fire during clashes.
