Governor Blocked from Delaney Hall

Governor Mikie Sherrill attempted a high-stakes visit to Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention center in Newark, alongside Senator Andy Kim and other lawmakers, amid a hunger strike protesting medical neglect and poor conditions. She condemned private detention facilities and demanded accountability from ICE, insisting everyone deserves dignity — but DHS called the visit a “political stunt,” citing recent unrest. Earlier visits by Reps. Menendez and Pou, and Senator Kim’s direct conversations with detainees — including a mother denied breastfeeding access and a woman miscarrying without care — underscore mounting pressure. Detainees urgently seek release of the vulnerable, while advocates warn of retaliation, including solitary confinement threats. ICE denied her entry — and the fight for transparency and humane treatment continues. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
