Protester Hit by Car at Detention Center

A protester was struck by a car outside a detention center on Father’s Day, sparking chaos as video captured the moment a red vehicle slammed into her while speeding toward the facility. The driver, identified as 38-year-old Thomas Brown from Newark, is now in custody facing assault by auto and reckless driving charges. The victim, injured but not critically, was surrounded by a crowd of about 95 people — including protesters and a vigil for detainees — who reportedly threw bottles and yelled before ICE agents arrived and deployed pepper spray. DHS labeled the scene as “riots,” claiming protesters attacked officers and that one protester bit an officer — though the car’s driver is not affiliated with ICE. The investigation continues as tensions flare over a volatile protest. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
