Trump’s DHS is LYING to Americans about what’s happening inside Delaney Hall. I saw what was going on with my own two eyes—this facility needs to be closed down.

🚨I’m back at Delaney Hall, where I just heard EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS from detainees. My concern is that hunger strikers are being retaliated against, all because they were advocating for better food, access to basic medical care, and judicial hearings.
Trump’s ICE must de-escalate the situation at Delaney Hall and then shutter it permanently. We have had enough of this coordinated campaign of brutality. My colleagues and I will not rest until this facility closes its doors and our communities are made whole again.
When I visited Delaney Hall on Monday, I saw firsthand the appalling conditions law-abiding immigrants are protesting. To meet completely reasonable demands for health care and due process under the Constitution with violence is unacceptable.
My office has received concerned calls from New Jerseyans who have reported that detainees at Delaney Hall have been beaten and pepper sprayed in retaliation for protesting the horrific conditions of this for-profit facility.
3️⃣ The bottom line is there are too many people crowded into too small of a facility at Delaney Hall. This private company is making a buck off denying detainees food and adequate medical care. We need to close this facility now.
2️⃣ The medical unit is too small with inadequate staff. You shouldn’t be denied care because of your immigration status. That is cruel and unusual punishment—a violation of our constitution.
1️⃣ I met with the detainees at Delaney Hall who are on a hunger strike because the food is inedible. The hunger strike is a desperate effort to improve the deplorable conditions.
Let’s cut through the noise from Trump’s DHS. Here’s what I saw on the ground at Delaney Hall:
Our neighbors are being treated with cruelty that has no place in the United States of America. Inedible food, poor access to medical care, and the inability to make their case before a judge—all to make a buck for the facility’s corporate owners.
Close Delaney Hall NOW.
Trump’s DHS can deny it all they want, but we know what we saw in Delaney Hall yesterday. There’s a hunger strike because conditions are awful.
I just visited Delaney Hall with my colleagues @repnellie.bsky.social and @kim.senate.gov, and it’s crystal clear to me there’s only one option now. CLOSE DELANEY HALL, NOW.
The conditions here are absolutely unacceptable. These detention centers have no place anywhere in our state or our country.
I will continue to call for accountability and carry out oversight of this facility.
Delaney Hall cannot continue to generate profit on the back of horrendous human suffering. I stand firmly in support of the brave detainees inside the facility—and the protesters outside—who are standing up for what’s right.
People are languishing without knowing if they’ll have enough to eat or if they’ll be able to receive medical care if they get sick. This is in addition to ICE’s indiscriminate actions in our neighborhoods and communities. It’s a cruel, coordinated campaign, and it’s a disgrace.
I visited the men and women suffering in ICE detention at Delaney Hall earlier this year, and I was shocked by the conditions they told me they had to endure. I am disgusted that these conditions only continue to worsen for detainees.
Born in Bayonne, he had a Jersey instinct for spotting nonsense and cutting right through it. Congress is better because Barney was in it. May his memory be a blessing. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
I was fortunate to serve alongside Barney Frank. He took on Wall Street, took on bigotry, and never pretended to be anything other than exactly who he was.
…or the millions more Americans are paying at the pump because of it.
It’s totally shameful. Trump must bring this war to an end now.
Another War Powers Resolution was brought up for a vote in the House tonight, and once again, @houserepublicans.bsky.social struck it down because unconditional support for Trump and his war matters more to them than the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars being spent to wage it…
