On Sunday night, New Jersey police arrested dozens of protesters for defying a curfew outside of Delaney Hall, the immigration jail in Newark, New Jersey, where hundreds of detainees are on day 11 of a hunger strike. <\/p>\n

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka instituted the curfew on Saturday night, after both state and local police charged at the protesters. The day before, Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill dispatched the state police to take over control from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers outside of Delaney Hall. While she said that she was doing this to avoid giving ICE \u201cthe pretext to expand operations\u201d in New Jersey, she effectively enabled greater collaboration between the two agencies that deployed violence against protesters. <\/p>\n

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin called Sherrill\u2019s decision a \u201cwin for law and order\u201d and thanked the governor for \u201callowing New Jersey State Police to cooperate with us.\u201d <\/p>\n

Shortly after Sherrill\u2019s dispatch on Friday, state police blocked off road access to the jail and set up checkpoints. But ICE agents did not immediately withdraw from outside of Delaney Hall, either. <\/p>\n

Paulo Almiron, media coordinator for Resistencia en Accion New Jersey, an organization that has been on the ground supporting the hunger striking detainees, described the situation on Friday night to Truthout<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the police were pushing the protestors on one side, ICE agents started shooting teargas pellets on the ground behind the crowd so that the wind would push the teargas towards the entire crowd, which was between them and the state police,\u201d he said. \u201cSo there has been collaboration in the tactics they\u2019ve used to attack the protesters.\u201d <\/p>\n

On Sunday night, the first night with the 9 pm to 6 am curfew in effect, protesters stayed put outside of Delaney. Fifteen minutes after state officers issued a dispersal order, they surrounded the remaining protestors and arrested dozens; activists say 46 protestors were arrested. Some of the police were in riot gear, while others were on horseback. <\/p>\n

Almiron said that more attention should be on the hunger strikers, rather than on the violence against the protesters outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Sherrill, in the past press conferences, has failed to acknowledge or mention the hunger strike directly,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is a shame that the governor has failed to address them, besides just coming to Delaney for 40 minutes to have a photoshoot with a few families. There\u2019s more that we expect from her.\u201d <\/p>\n

In a Saturday press conference, Sherrill blamed outsiders for the tension and violence. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo the people coming from out of state to create chaos and dangerous situations, you should not be here,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re not helping the people detained at Delaney Hall, you\u2019re not helping detainee families, and you\u2019re certainly not keeping New Jersey safe.\u201d <\/p>\n

But Resistencia en Accion, like many organizations that are showing up, is a local New Jersey group. \u201cOur focus as an organization is to keep supporting the families that come here to visit their loved ones, to support the strikers and uplift their demands, which are to have the governor speak to them, to release people in vulnerable conditions \u2014 the young, the elderly, those with medical conditions and who are disabled \u2014 and to let doctors into units 2A and 2B, where people have been in need of urgent medical attention that\u2019s been denied,\u201d Almiron said. <\/p>\n

\u201cA hunger strike is a very, very delicate thing to do,\u201d he added. \u201cThis took many months to organize. This is something that the detainees have been planning and executing for their own sake and for the sake of their families.\u201d <\/p>\n

When asked what might be motivating Sherrill\u2019s actions, Almiron said: \u201cThe World Cup is coming, and the threat that the DHS secretary has made about shutting down international flights coming into Newark could play a role in that\u2026. It looks like it is an issue with her priorities, of her putting tourism and the economy over the well-being of the families and over the concerns of grassroots organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n
