We reported earlier on some of the action happening at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark on Friday night.
Nick Sortor went undercover into their encampment, and you can get a good view of how extensive the endeavor is, and it raises a lot of questions about who is behind the funding of this specific action, especially when ICE agents are being assaulted and threatened.
But things were getting way out of hand with the clashes and the threats against the ICE agents. Democrat New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who was one of the politicians who had shown up earlier in the week trying to get into the facility, said she was going to try to set up “free speech protest zones.” She still tried to blame ICE, but it was clear she realized that the chaos the activists were creating was killing the Democrats’ political attack on ICE and the Trump administration.

The New Jersey State Police marched in soon after and set up barriers to prevent the activists from interfering with the operations of the facility. I think it’s safe to say the activists were not happy at all as they assailed the police with curses and insults.
Warning for graphic language in the following videos:

But the effort to curb the activists failed. The NJSP had to move in, and they even had horses.

This was a great moment when they gave the activists 15 minutes to clear out the huge camp that RedState reported on earlier. Let the scramble begin!

You can see a sign in there that they “refuse” to let ICE detain 1,200 “immigrants” at the facility. They object to illegal aliens being detained there at all. They had a lot of people there.
You can see the troopers hitting one of the tents. Again, the activists were not happy campers. They were upset that things might have been taken, and they were frantically looking for stuff.

They tried to rebuild after the NJSP left, but then the federal Special Response Team (SRT) rushed out and took it all apart again.
🚨 UPDATE: ICE just RUSHED OUT and TOOK all of the rioters’ barriers and bricks out here in Newark

They looked pretty defeated right here after having to deal with the NJSP and the Special Response Team (SRT). The Department of Homeland Security praised what could be done, with the assistance of state and local law enforcement.
With cooperation from state and local law enforcement, law and order will prevail. https://t.co/vZCEwcUR2O
