Anti-ICE protesters and immigration officers clashed outside a Newark detention center Thursday night as the mob unleashed another round of twisted taunts at law enforcement.
“Every cop, every fed, shoot yourself in the head,” scores of rabble-rousers chanted at officers guarding Delaney Hall Detention Center, which has been the center of heated protests for the past week.
Footage captured by The Post shows authorities at one point pushing the protesters back with nightsticks and when a police car drove by, throwing an agitator to the ground to clear a path.
Another demonstrator was also tossed to the ground by a federal officer during the tense standoff that erupted over the weekend.
Other video shows federal law enforcement threatening to deploy pepper spray if protesters didn’t back off.
Activists have claimed ICE detainees are on a hunger strike in response to subpar conditions at the center – but Department of Homeland Security leaders have pushed back on those assertions.
Protesters, many covered in keffiyeh scarves, have tried to block vehicles and people from entering and exiting the facility, leading to violent confrontations. --->READ MORE HERE
Nine people were arrested Thursday night during a raucous demonstration at Delaney Hall detention center in New Jersey — where foul-mouthed agitators again urged federal agents to “shoot yourself in the head” and allegedly bit, kicked and punched officers, officials said.
Video shows a trio of anti-ICE demonstrators being hauled away as one obnoxious protester berates agents through a megaphone: “You look like a f–king clown, s–t don’t even line up. Fix your s–t, bitch.”
“What the f–k are you guys doing in there?!” another yelled, while others told the agents, “Take your gun and shoot yourself” and “Every cop, every fed, shoot yourself in the head.”
The rioters are accused of biting, kicking and punching agents, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Friday.
“Assaulting and obstructing ICE law enforcement is a crime and felony,” he said. “Throughout the night, nine rioters were arrested. Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Activists have claimed ICE detainees are on a hunger strike in protest of deplorable living conditions at the federal center – but DHS leaders have pushed back on those allegations.
Protesters, many covered in keffiyeh scarves, have tried to block vehicles and personnel from getting in and out of the facility, leading to violent scuffles with law enforcement.
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherill — who was denied access to the building on Memorial Day as protests raged outside — traded barbs with Mullin after she accused him of not allowing state health inspectors inside. --->READ MORE HERE
