Protesters Rally Over Detainee Deaths | Jersey News
Description
Protesters stormed Delaney Hall in Newark after two detainees died, sparking a tense but mostly peaceful rally tied to a nationwide immigrant rights day — just days after the state Attorney General launched an investigation into GEO Group’s alleged civil rights abuses. Families have long raised alarms over rotten food, denied medical care, and unsanitary conditions, including a May hunger strike. The governor’s office accuses GEO of blocking inspections of critical areas like bathrooms and medical units — a move that fueled the state’s lawsuit against the contractor, who runs the facility under a $1 billion contract with ICE. Transparency is now at the heart of the fight.
