In a dramatic showdown at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, far-left protestors were arrested after violently clashing with law enforcement. The incident, which unfolded on Monday, saw so-called “faith leaders” and activists block emergency vehicles and obstruct the entrance to the detention center, refusing multiple orders to disperse. While the liberal media continues to ignore the chaos instigated by the radical left, law enforcement stood firm, upholding the rule of law—a stark contrast to the anarchy encouraged by progressive politicians.
As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, these far-left agitators formed a human chain, deliberately preventing access to the facility. When police intervened, chaos erupted as the protestors resisted arrest, forcing officers to cuff and detain them. Video footage shows the defiant mob screaming at law enforcement, further proving their disregard for public safety and order. This is the same facility where New Jersey Democrats, including Rep. LaMonica McIver, recently assaulted ICE agents in a shocking display of lawlessness.

Bodycam footage released over the weekend exposed McIver’s unhinged behavior, showing her verbally abusing and physically assaulting federal agents. A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman rightly suggested that such actions could lead to arrests, stating, “Assaulting federal agents is a serious crime, and those responsible will be held accountable.” Yet, the liberal media remains eerily silent, refusing to condemn the left’s escalating violence while demonizing conservatives for merely defending their rights.

President Donald Trump has long warned about the dangers of unchecked leftist extremism, and this incident proves his concerns were justified. While Democrats and their media allies push a narrative of victimhood, the truth is clear: law enforcement is under attack by radical activists who believe they are above the law. The Trump administration’s commitment to securing our borders and enforcing immigration laws stands in stark contrast to the left’s open-borders agenda, which fuels these chaotic protests.
