monkey bone

I’m back at Delaney Hall with @GovSherrillNJ and other members of the NJ delegation to meet with families of detainees and listen to community advocates. We’re working together to make sure they’re heard and to speak out with them.

Delaney Hall must be shut down immediately. ICE cannot be allowed to continue operating in this way.

What’s happening at Delaney Hall is unacceptable. I visited this morning with my colleagues to inspect conditions, get information about the hunger strike, and demand answers. Delaney Hall must be shut down, ICE must be reined in, and this fight is far from over.

What’s happening at Delaney Hall is wrong, and we need to hold ICE accountable for what they are doing there and across the country. This is just one of the reasons I’ve stood with the Roxbury community and fought back against ICE’s plan for a detention center there. They cannot be trusted in Delaney Hall and we absolutely cannot allow them to operate in Roxbury.

Immigrants at Delaney Hall are on a hunger strike because they are fighting for their human rights. The conditions there are deplorable. We’re working with our partners in the state to bring an end to this nightmare and I’ll be going to Delaney Hall again to conduct oversight. Enough is enough - not in New Jersey, not anywhere.

We spent all night at Delaney Hall and I’m grateful to @GovSherrillNJ, @SenatorAndyKim, and our NJ colleagues for continuing the fight this morning. We will not stop until we get answers for the families and loved ones of those inside.

They ban abortions, but think sex with animals should be legal. How can any self respecting person vote republican?

🚨 West Virginia is the only state in the country where it is legal to have sex with an animal.

BREAKING: 🚨 Governor of New Jersey Mikie Sherrill BLOCKED by DHS from entering Newark ICE facility.

@911NewsBreaks How can they not allow the Governor in? Why didn’t she call the national guard? The NJ Police?

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. This is more of the same lawlessness we’ve seen elsewhere around the country. 

Our country deserves accountability. Our country deserves the humane treatment of every person here. In fact, our Constitution demands this. What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again.

ICE pepper sprayed a US Senator today (@AndyKimNJ) nj.com/news/2026/05/i…

None of the major news networks will cover the fact that Donald Trump fell asleep during the Memorial Day service today. The media is complicit.

@Out5p0ken Horrible!

ICE tear gassed NJ Senator Andy Kim outside Delaney Hall in Newark after detainees launched a hunger strike over conditions that included spoiled food, lack of medical care, and extreme heat. h/t veronicadelacruztv

He fell asleep. He fell asleep at an event honoring our fallen. He. Fell. Asleep. 🤬

This is absolutely insane. We are causing our own extinction with data centers.

Bro this is still just an outrageous fuckin lie to post

You can’t spend two months telling America you destroyed Iran’s military and then call new strikes “self-defense.”

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
