New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s “peaceful” protest zone outside a Newark immigration detention center was anything but peaceful on Friday night.
Protestors ignored orders to disperse as the unruly crowd clashed with federal officers and state police, shouting death threats to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel.
Officers eventually deployed tear gas and pepper spray.
“Kill yourself, quit your job, quit your job,” the rabble-rousers chanted at one point, according to New York Post coverage.
“Fuck ICE,” they barked and called the federal officers “murderers.”
As Breitbart News reported Friday, Thursday night’s installment of several days of protests included threats not only against agents but their families.
Some shouted on Thursday, “You’re dead,” and “I’ll kill your whole fucking family.”
“I have your face, motherfucker, you’re dead,” another screamed.
On Friday, ICE agents waded into crowds of protestors, detaining several violent instigators.
Eventually, New Jersey state police on horseback — part of the governor’s new response to the week of mayhem — tried to force the crowd away from the Newark facility. Officers deployed tear gas as state police in full riot gear pushed ahead in a solid line.
