A few dozen protesters rallied outside the New Jersey statehouse in Trenton on Monday afternoon. They carried handmade signs with messages such as “U made it worse” and “Gov Sherrill, stop lying about Delaney Hall”. One led a collective chant that summed up the rally’s mood: “Hey, Mikie, WTF?”
The target of their ire: the governor, Mikie Sherrill. Protesters say the newly elected Democratic governor has failed to adequately address the dire situation at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark, where at least 300 detainees are on a hunger and labor strike.
