Federal agents fired pepper balls at protesters outside Delaney Hall in Newark on Monday following days of unrest outside the privately run immigration detention center.

U.S. Sen. Andy Kim said he had trouble breathing from the cloud of pepper spray deployed as a growing crowd of protesters responding to an inmate hunger strike demonstrated outside....

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, about 125 protesters gathered outside the facility over the weekend, at one point forming a human chain and makeshift barricades....

Democratic New Jersey officials — including Kim, Gov. Mikie Sherrill and U.S. Rep. Rob Menendez — are demanding that the facility be shut down over complaints of inhumane conditions, including poor-quality food and subpar medical care.

1. They are never gonna get us to knuckle under. Americans will continue to protest.

Shooting at protesters doesn’t work. I guess these guys are too young to know about Kent State.

2. Pepper spraying a US Senator. Denying access to the governor

These fascists are out of control and apparently haven't eased off on their abuses.

3. Will we ever actually restore the rule of law?

4. My fear is that if we retake control in '29,

no one, including those on the far left, will give the new Democratic administration time and space to start repairing things. It's going to take way more than 4 years and there will be stops and starts.

And I'll be a lot that suddenly the Republicans and the legacy media will become concerned about the deficit again.

5. The Republicans will still be bastards and try to block everything we do no matter how important is

[mcar]

7. Yes, and the MSM will suddenly decide to report on every little thing

and push "democrats in disarray" 24/7.

[Walleye]

9. Yes, we can just count on the media being against us on everything

We shouldn’t really expect any real journalism anymore

6. Why are ICE agents involved in THIS protests?

I thought they are only for immigration laws? WTF?

[mcar]

8. Good question

[Walleye]

10. And the border patrol are operating way far away from the border

[SSJVegeta]

11. Is the DA gonna press charges? They assaulted a senator for chrissakes

[Squaredeal]

12. And our other Democratic Senator didn't even show up, in his own town!

There’s a shock!
And the NJ Democratic Party shamefully didn't primary him this election.
