The Trump administration's announcement to reopen the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark marks a significant expansion of immigrant detention capacity in the Northeast. With 1,000 beds, this will become the largest detention center in New Jersey, overshadowing the existing 200-bed facility in Elizabeth. Positioned near major airports, this new center will enhance the logistical capabilities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants. The announcement underscores the administration's intent to aggressively pursue its immigration enforcement agenda by securing more detention space across the country, including military bases.
