Police-state riot outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall as 300 immigrants continue hunger and labor strike

On Thursday night, federal immigration thugs violently attacked protesters and journalists outside the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, New Jersey, swinging batons, deploying pepper spray and arresting at least six people in an effort to break an ongoing blockade in support of 300 immigrant detainees on hunger and labor strike inside the facility.

In video posted on social media, it is not protesters, but ICE thugs who are initiating and escalating the violence. One agent is seen kicking a protester into a moving semi-truck, with the protester’s foot appearing to get caught under the wheel as they fall to the ground. Unconfirmed social media reports indicate the person suffered a major bruise.

Reporters at the scene said federal agents deliberately targeted cameras in an effort to prevent documentation of the assault. Photographer Mostafa Bassim wrote that an ICE agent struck his camera “with his baton using full force,” snapping the lens in half, despite Bassim being “clearly identified as press.”

Some 300 immigrants inside the facility have been participating in a hunger and labor strike since last Friday. As in US prisons, immigrants held inside detention facilities are often expected to perform labor to keep the facility operational, some for as little as a dollar a day, if that. While immigrants slave away inside Delaney Hall, the government is paying GEO Group $1 billion to operate the facility.

Anti-ICE Rioters Assault Agents with Unknown Chemical Substance During Violent Riot at New Jersey Detention Center

A pair of anti-ICE rioters allegedly attacked ICE agents with a chemical substance on Tuesday outside of the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey. 

The leftwing rioters famously laid siege upon the ICE facility last Summer, and they’re back in full force again.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, rioters occupied the Newark facility this week, setting up barricades to block vehicles leaving the facility and assaulting feds.

Clashes between law enforcement and the anti-ICE rioters have continued nightly. Video from Wednesday shows federal agents pushing back against rioters with strobe lights and pepper spray as they’re pelted with objects from the mob.

Leftists were also seen yelling, “Grab your gun and kill yourself,” at the agents before another clash, where agents used batons to fight off the lunatics.

The night before, two individuals were arrested for assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement after spraying federal agents with an “unknown chemical substance” during a similar altercation, according to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

“Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Mullin wrote on X.

Tonight, ICE law enforcement officers were assaulted by anti-ICE rioters who sprayed law enforcement with an unknown chemical substance.

Two individuals were arrested for assaulting, resisting, and impeding federal officers.

Assaulting and obstructing ICE law enforcement is a crime and felony.

Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Democrat Senator Andy Kim Pepper Sprayed by ICE During Memorial Day Riot at ICE Facility

Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents while participating in a riot outside of an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, on Monday.

Instead of spending Memorial Day honoring our fallen troops, Kim joined the rioters attacking law enforcement alongside New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill and Reps. Rob Menendez, LaMonica McIver and Nellie Pou.

Masked leftist rioters were seen vandalizing the city and removing large blocks from the sidewalks to set up barricades outside of the Delaney Hall Detention Center to block vehicles leaving the facility. In multiple clips circulating online, the insurrectionists could be seen searching through the vehicles with flashlights before allowing them to pass.

Kim was seen at one point attempting to negotiate with the insurrectionists, asking them to stop throwing things at vehicles and to clear a path in the parking lot. Kim is then seen apologizing to the protesters and instigating further unrest after ICE agents pushed through the crowds.

“I don’t trust them,” Kim told the left-wing rioters after blaming ICE for failing to make a “deal.”

Pepper spray and pepper balls were later deployed during a clash between agents and rioters. Kim was seen screaming at agents on an armored truck as they used crowd control measures.

Video from the scene shows protesters pouring water into Kim’s eyes following the incident.

New Jersey Dem Hamawy Denounced By World Trade Center Bombing Survivors for Friendship With ‘Blind Sheikh’: ‘Some Things Are Just Not Forgivable’

The New Jersey plastic surgeon leading the Democratic primary for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, Adam Hamawy, is facing intense criticism from victims and survivors of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing over his years-long friendship with the “Blind Sheikh” terrorist mastermind who inspired the attack, the Free Beacon’s Jon Levine reports. The victims are shocked and horrified that a close associate of the Muslim cleric—Omar Abdel-Rahman, who was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the bombing—could soon be a member of Congress.

“I would never vote for Hamawy because of this and again, saying that as a lifelong Democrat and someone who really wants to keep New Jersey blue, I would find another Democrat to vote for even if it meant writing in someone,” said Michael Macko, whose father worked at the World Trade Center as an assistant chief mechanical supervisor and was killed by the blast while on his lunch break. “I could not with a clear conscience ever vote for this man. Nor would I encourage anybody else to. Some things are just not forgivable.”

James Outerbridge, who survived both the 1993 bombing and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, said Hamawy “doesn’t deserve to run for political office in our country,” adding, “There’s no place for people like this.” Another survivor, Charles Maikish, the director of the Port Authority World Trade Department at the time of the bombing, said of Hamawy’s relationship with Rahman: “Personally, it disgusts me. For somebody that has befriended that group, or the head of that sect that perpetrated such a heinous crime, to me, is just totally against what would be a free, open, democratic society.”

“The scandal has been slowly percolating in New Jersey since the Free Beacon first flagged a 1995 New York Times article labeling Hamawy a ‘supporter’ of the radical cleric,” Levine writes. “Hamawy was a defense witness in [Rahman’s] spectacular trial and described the terrorist as a ‘leader of the community’ on the campaign trail just last week. … Hamawy has never denied his relationship to the sheikh—who died in prison in 2017—but has attempted to distance himself from the issue by blasting the story as ‘right-wing, MAGA smears.’”

Pedophile in NJ Women’s Prison, Who Horrifically Abused His 7-Year-Old Daughter, Demands Nude Witchcraft Rituals and Marriage to Male Accomplice in Insane Settlement Negotiations

A biological male convicted of human trafficking his own 7-year-old daughter across the country, repeatedly sexually assaulting her, and filming the abuse to produce and distribute child sexual abuse material, is now housed in New Jersey’s only women’s prison.

To make the situation even sicker, he is demanding a taxpayer-funded settlement that would allow him to perform nude outdoor Wiccan rituals and marry his male co-defendant while behind bars.

Matthew Volz, who uses the name “Marina Volz,” is serving a 25-year sentence with 25 years of parole ineligibility after pleading guilty in November 2021 to multiple first-degree charges, including human trafficking, aggravated sexual assault, conspiracy to commit human trafficking and aggravated sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child through the creation of child pornography.

The crimes committed against this child by Volz and his accomplices are horrific, and reader discretion is advised.

In December 2018, Volz traveled to Oregon with co-defendant Adam Romero, who uses the name “Ashley Romero,” to take custody of his biological daughter from her mother, who was a drug addict.

The pair brought the child back to their home in Franklin Township, New Jersey, where they operated what prosecutors described as a “family-owned transgender pornography production studio specializing in amateur, BDSM and taboo fetish content.”

Volz and Romero sexually assaulted the girl, both individually and together, and filmed the abuse to sell to other sickos.

The child was subjected to torture-like conditions, including neck collars, a cage in the basement, and sex toys, according to a report from Reduxx.

Reduxx reports, “Some of the media found by police featured Romero sexually abusing the girl with another man. Romero lived in the residence with Volz and with two other individuals; Sean Allen, who had also sexually abused the child on film, and Dulcinea Gnecco, who acted as a domestic assistant.”

“The two other men in the home were also convicted for their roles in the sexual abuse of the child. Sean Allen, 54, was handed a 12-year sentence for his role in the crimes, and Dulcinea Gnecco, was also charged on four counts of child endangerment and received a 5-year sentence.”

Stolen agricultural drones recovered at New Jersey warehouse

Fifteen agricultural drones that were stolen last month in New Jersey were recovered on Monday, the New Jersey State Police said.

The March 24 theft at CAC International, a logistics and shipping company located in Harrison, N.J., spooked authorities because the drones are built for precision spraying of crops and, in the wrong hands, could be programmed to disperse dangerous chemicals over a route controlled by GPS.

The drones were recovered at Prudent Corporation, located in Dover, New Jersey.

“This is an active, ongoing investigation that Homeland Security Investigations and Customs and Border Patrol are assisting with. No additional information is available,” a state police statement said.

The stolen drones were dropped off at the Dover warehouse the same day, where they have apparently been sitting ever since, according to workers who said they noticed them and called police.

Reports began to surface that authorities, including the FBI, were on the lookout for the drones. That’s when someone at the Dover warehouse contacted police.

The drones are operated remotely and can drop chemicals anywhere the operators decide.

The farming drones were catalogued by investigators and placed on a large tractor-trailer to be moved to a secure location.

Illegal Immigrant Confesses to Stealing Seniors’ Savings in Nationwide “Grandparent” Scam

An illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic living in Paterson, New Jersey, has pleaded guilty in federal court after admitting to laundering money stolen from elderly Americans through a cruel and calculated “grandparent” fraud scheme, as reported by Townhall.

The case shines a harsh light on how criminals are exploiting both America’s generosity and its border failures to prey on the most vulnerable citizens.

Engels Guillermo Almengot Valerio, 26, entered his guilty plea before Senior U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer on May 4, 2026.

The plea marked the culmination of a federal investigation exposing a disturbing operation that specifically targeted senior citizens across the country, manipulating them into handing over their life savings under false pretenses.

According to court documents, Valerio was part of an elaborate scheme that originated from the Dominican Republic.

Scammers called elderly Americans, impersonating grandchildren or relatives in distress — claiming they had been in a car accident or arrested — and begged for money to cover legal fees or bail.

The call would then be handed off to someone pretending to be an attorney or bail bondsman, sealing the illusion.

Former NJ Democrat Candidate Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud Scheme

A former Democratic mayoral candidate in Plainfield, New Jersey, has pleaded guilty to forging voter registration applications connected to the 2021 Democratic primary election.

Henrilyn Ibezim, 71, admitted to the charge as part of a case stemming from his candidacy in that election cycle.

Ibezim ran on the Unity Party ticket during the primary, according to reporting.

New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport announced in a press release Thursday that Ibezim entered his guilty plea earlier in the week.

He was charged with one count of third-degree forgery.

“Under the terms of his plea agreement with the Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA), the State agreed to dismiss the remaining counts in the indictment and to not prosecute the defendant for any other disclosed criminal violations arising out of his conduct during the Democratic primary for mayor in June 2021,” the attorney general’s office said.

Prosecutors indicated they will recommend a sentence of probation.

According to the charges, Ibezim was accused of attempting to submit a large number of fraudulent voter registration applications.

She Refused A Smart Meter For Health Reasons — So New Jersey Water Company Shut Off Her Water

A New Jersey water company shut off a woman’s water for six days after she refused a smart meter due to health concerns, even though the state has no regulation requiring residents to accept smart meters.

In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Alla Goldman described how New Jersey American Water (NJAW) employees “harassed” her and her husband for over a year, threatening to shut off her water if she refused to let them install a smart water meter.

On March 5, the water company made good on its threats by sending a technician — escorted by two police officers — to her home to shut off her water.

For six days, Goldman, who was sick with the flu, and her husband went without water at their home. Goldman took shelter in a hotel and bought gallons of drinking water.

“I want to sue them for their literal threats,” Goldman said.

While staying at a hotel, Goldman filed a complaint with the state’s Board of Public Utilities (BPU) about the water company’s action.

The BPU informed her that the water company had no legal basis for shutting off her water because there is no BPU regulation requiring people to accept smart meter upgrades.

Goldman said, “A BPU supervisor told me that if we do not want a smart meter, we do not have to have one.”

When the BPU informed the water company of Goldman’s complaint, the company changed its tune by offering to restore services and install an analog meter that would not emit wireless radiation.

‘Few people know that water companies do the same thing’

Former Dem mayoral candidate admits forging voter registration applications

Henrilynn Ibezim, a former Democratic mayoral candidate in New Jersey, pleaded guilty to forging nearly 1,000 voter registration applications during the 2021 Democratic primary, New Jersey’s Office of the Attorney General announced Thursday.

During the 2021 Democratic primary for Plainfield, New Jersey’s mayoral seat, Ibezim allegedly brought a garbage bag filled with around 1,000 falsified voter registration applications to a post office in Elizabeth, New Jersey, with the intention of mailing them to Union County’s registration commissioner.

Of the 1,000 applications, most were completed with the handwriting of only three or four people, according to the attorney general. None of the slips were marked as completed by somebody other than the voter whom they were supposed to represent.

Ibezim also attempted to coach a witness who helped him fill out the applications on how to respond to law enforcement questions, telling the witness not to “admit anything,” the attorney general’s office previously said.

Despite his efforts, Ibezim, who was running on the Unity Party ticket, received only 103 votes in the primary and lost to Plainfield’s current mayor, Adrian O. Mapp.
