Over the last week, the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark has become a powderkeg, with a hunger strike inside the facility’s gates and
Alex Zdan, a Republican running for the U.S. Senate, visited the facility last Friday and said that Democratic protesters and politicians are making a bad situation worse. “It’s become a pilgrimage site, apparently, to pledge your fealty to illegal migrants who have broken the law to come into our country,” Zdan said. “As a Democrat, you need to stand there and decry these conditions. I think it’s appalling.” “And I think it’s something that the Democratic Party is going to suffer for at the ballot box,” he added. “The average voter that you speak to – they want law and order. They don’t want chaos.” https://newjerseyglobe.com/immigration/delaney-hall-has-become-a-stop-on-the-new-jersey-campaign-trail/
