Protests at an immigration detention facility in Newark once again spiraled out of control on Friday night as open-borders militants attacked law enforcement and damaged federal property.
For the first time this week, New Jersey State Police (NJSP) were deployed to Delaney Hall to assist with crowd control and riot mitigation.

Rioters dismantled ‘First Amendment fences’ that had been erected earlier that day and used them to create roadblocks as they took control of the streets near the facility.

It is unclear if any arrests were made in connection with the lawlessness on Friday night.
We will continue to monitor this situation as it develops.
