Hey yall I just wanted to come on here and bring some attention to what’s happening at the detention center (really a concentration camp) Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. There is a hunger strike going on right now to protest the abhorrent conditions within the camp (allegations of torture, maggots and other bugs in the food, etc) and protests happening outside the camp. ICE is not allowing any politicians to come in (as is their right) to see the conditions of the camp. I would urge yall to do your own research, but if you want videos of some people who are actually there, here are some tik tok accounts you can go follow: @ bethanyquilter/ @ whoiskingtrivv/ @ Status Coup News/ @ L.A. TACO
And here is a video explaining what’s going on in more detail than I provided.
With everything else going on in the world, it can be hard to keep up with stuff going on at home, but ICE is still out here terrorizing innocent people. We must keep our eyes on them, and keep fighting.
Feel free to add more sources or info to this post, should you have any.
I found this linktree here that has a master list of ways to help the detainees inside Delaney Hall: https://linktr.ee/SupportOurFamilies
Please support immigrant families by donating to the GoFundMe's below and purchasing supplies via Amazon Wishlist to support detainee visito
I have heard that protestors outside need medical supplies, but I can’t find the best way to provide that if you are not nearby.
their needs are changing rapidly, they mostly need Sudecon wipes and gas masks, last I heard, but the only way is to bring them directly there. for the most part they are asking people to join them there and hold the line, if possible. next best thing is to donate and call NJ reps to demand an end to the detention and torture!
They are brutalizing the strikers while filling the room with mace and it was only after 2 hrs of calls to 911 and sustained protestor presence for ems to even evacuate one person to the hospital. Please help us stay mobilized. The more people that can be sustained protesting outside the facility, the less ICE agents are spending time brutally beating and macing the hunger and labor strikers.
Its on a busy trucker route and there has already been at least one protestor pushed by ice and held in the path of an 18-wheeler crushing his foot. they chased a medic down the road and detained him for hours leaving him brutalized under a random overpass in Newark. They tazed someone running away causing them to fall into the deeply polluted ditch bc all the land here is a brownfield that legally shouldnt have anyone touching it, let alone have detainment camps built there
These are some sources i trust for people who want to donate for medical supplies
and dont let anyone forget the actual demands of the strikers
An additional resource you all can visit to see how you can help is this website. For those who can’t click on the link, it’s handsoffnyc.com/delaneyhall. Shoutout to @mycatisadictedtogarbanzobeans for the additional info.
Update (5/29/26) according to @ whoiskingtrivv and @ adamcrai on tik tok (you can watch their video directly here): state police have blocked off the road to Delaney Hall and are requiring you to show ID before you can enter. THIS IS NOT OKAY!!! It’s also mentioned that if you are going to drive there, please make sure everything in your vehicle is up to date as the love to tow peoples cars. Also take a picture of where you parked your car. If you’re going in person, please stay safe. I will continue to update as I see more information.
As always, if you have resources or info, please share them by either reblogging this post or you can message me directly. Please continue spreading the word, the more eyes on this the better.
Amidst all the bad, here is a little bit of an uplifting update. Please watch this video by @ adamcrai on tik tok showing the hostages within the detention center hearing and supporting the protesters outside. It genuinely made me tear up. Let this be motivation for the continued fight.
I’ve already seen this being hidden and suppressed on social media. This NEEDS to be known about and not forgotten or pushed aside by whatever that fucking disgusting orange hemorrhoid in the White House throws at us next.
THIS IS NOT OKAY.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
THIS IS FASCISM.
KEEP FIGHTING!
Update as of 5/31/26: yesterday they put a curfew in place. If you’re going to protest there, be advised that between the hours of 9pm-6am you cannot protest. Anyone who has tried was told by local and state police that they had to go. And the police claim they are there to keep protesters safe, but anyone with more than half a brain cell could tell you that’s bullshit. Despite these roadblocks, we cannot give up or look away.
Update as of 6/1, after curfew last night state police kettled protestors and press and then attacked them with tear gas and flash bombs and horses and riot shields. 63 protestors were arrested and held for 20+ hrs. As they were released they again echoed the demands of the detainees. id reblog with some of the harrowing photos but its a lot. you can find good coverage at the places mentioned above and also @ hereswhykevin on insta
Update 6/2/26: so it seems like the mayor of Newark said that the state police are being withdrawn, and local pd will take control of the area. Also, it seems like the curfew may be lifted, though I’m not 100% sure of that, so I will keep on the lookout and update the post when it’s a sure thing. Keep in mind, though the mayor claims the police are there to protect protestors against ICE, that’s not a guarantee that they themselves won’t harass you or actually protect you. Always stay vigilant.
Also, I will constantly keep updating this post, and the most recent updated post will always be pinned, so if you want to stay informed check that out. And also keep providing resources please! Whether it’s more info on what’s going on or resources the people there may need. As always you can message me or send an ask if you want me to compile your info for you. Let me know if you want to remain anonymous, I will respect that. Thank you.
Update, same day: according to @ whoiskingtrivv the curfew, which the mayor said was supposed to be lifted, was not. And the state police are still there, and no one can get a straight answer as to what’s going on. Also they were giving families of the detainees a hard time, even though they were supposed to be cleared to visit today. Mind you, the families also only get a measly 30 min. You can watch his video containing more info here.
The curfew was just lifted!! The mayor just made a post, so hopefully the state police will start backing off as well. Side note, why the fuck are there “designated free speech zones”? Is that not the whole of the USA??? They are quite literally playing in our faces.
