As Democrats seek to shut down a migrant detention center in Newark, New Jersey, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested illegal aliens convicted of crimes like manslaughter, sexual assault, and domestic violence across the state.
“While sanctuary politicians and leftist agitators spread false smears about the Delaney Hall ICE facility, the brave men and women of ICE are still hard at work removing criminal illegal aliens from New Jersey,” the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Lauren Bis said:
In New Jersey, they have removed dangerous criminal illegal aliens with criminal histories that include voluntary manslaughter, sex assault, burglary, fraud, terroristic threats, and aggravated assault. These sanctuary politicians need to stop peddling false smears about ICE detention facilities and start thanking ICE law enforcement officers for getting these thugs off New Jersey streets. We will not let violent rioters slow us down from making America safe again.

This week, New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport filed a lawsuit against GEO Group, the federal contractor who operates the Delaney Hall detention center for ICE. The lawsuit claims the facility is inhumane.
The lawsuit comes as Democrats, including Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Andy Kim (D-NJ) as well as Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D), have sought to have Delaney Hall shut down. The facility is critical for ICE as some of the nation’s worst convicted criminal illegal aliens are arrested in the tri-state area.
