AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Over the course of two tense weeks outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in Newark, protesters have periodically clashed with federal agents and New Jersey state troopers, and more than 80 people have been arrested.
Most of the protesters have come out to support detainees and oppose President Trump's immigration crackdown, but some have demonstrated in support of it.
Most of the arrests happened on Sunday after protesters violated a 9 p.m. curfew, which Newark's mayor had declared after a fire was set on a roadway outside the facility.
