Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has voiced serious concerns regarding the treatment of migrants at Delaney Hall, a private prison operated under a contract with ICE. Reports suggest that detainees are experiencing inadequate food supply and poor living conditions, leading to protests and unrest. The facility has denied access to local officials, exacerbating concerns over oversight and constitutional rights. Baraka emphasized the urgent need for improved conditions and accountability, while independent confirmations of violence and detainee escapes remain unverified.
"We are concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees."
"This entire situation lacks sufficient oversight of every basic detail - including local zoning laws and fundamental constitutional rights."
