They're Pepper Spraying Senators Now

from Why, America? with Leeja Miller Hosted by Leeja Miller

Tensions outside the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark, New Jersey boiled over this weekend, with Senator Andy Kim attempting to intervene and de-escalate and instead getting hit with pepper spray by DHS agents. The conditions inside Delaney Hall are so bad that 300 detainees are currently participating in a hunger strike. This is all part of the larger fascist plan to dehumanize immigrants so we all look the other way.
