Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Friday that a man was arrested for making death threats against a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer and his family during a protest in New Jersey on Thursday night. The arrest occurred shortly after Blanche stated on Fox News that the protester, who was recorded making threats, would be apprehended. In the video, the protester can be heard threatening the officer's family. Blanche emphasized that threatening an officer and their family is a federal crime. The protest took place outside Newark’s Delaney Hall detention center, where approximately 100 protesters were present, some of whom were accused of assaulting law enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security reported that nine individuals were arrested during the clashes, which involved the use of pepper spray by agents to control the crowd. The protests began in response to claims made by detainees regarding their treatment, which DHS has denied.
