Mayor Ras J. Baraka Statement on Ice Intention to Open Detention Center at Newark’s Delaney Hall

‍

“Without satisfying city property-use requirements, inspections, and permits, Delaney Hall cannot lawfully open in Newark at this time.

“Regardless of the process, an immigrant detention center is not welcomed here. ICE’s stated intention to round up ‘criminals’ is a thin veil that does not conceal their scheme to violate people’s rights, desecrate the Constitution, and disassemble our democracy.”
