REGIONAL NEWS
New Jersey immigrant rights advocates requested to reverse a federal decision that could allow the reopening of privately owned Delaney Hall, a former Newark immigrant detention center. Advocates are concerned that the jail’s reopening will increase ICE arrests and harmful treatment towards immigrants. The case is before U.S. District Judge Robert Kirsch whose 2023 ruling overturned part of an N.J. law that prohibited public and private entities from detaining immigrants.
