This was where Ras Baraka was arrested and the members of Congress tried to visit.
Anyway, the political prisoners were being starved, so they rebelled, and apparently tear gas was used on them.

Reports of an uprising inside Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark NJ. I was here with people trying to visit family when we all started choking due to tear gas used inside.

After being starved for twenty hours and then fed two pieces of bread, detainees got fed up. According to this article they pushed an interior wall down. If this facility was just reopened how come it's so flimsy that they could do that? Safety inspections are needed now.
