Family Visitation Partially Restored at New Jersey Immigration Detention Center

Family visitation at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in New Jersey has been partially restored, as confirmed by Governor Mikie Sherrill and officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Sunday morning. This decision follows a week of protests that were sparked by a hunger strike among detainees. Local officials have also implemented an overnight curfew starting at 9 PM for the area surrounding Delaney Hall, which has been blocked off. Families of detained immigrants are facing uncertainty regarding who will be allowed visitation following the announcement.
