ICE Agent Injured, Opens Fire During Chaotic Traffic Stop in New Jersey

NEWARK, NEW JERSEY - JUNE 12: Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) move protestors as cars depart the Delaney Hall Immigration Detention Center on June 12, 2026 in Newark, New Jersey. People continue to gather at the immigration detention center in support of detainees who are now joined by women detainees who have announced their participation in the hunger and labor strike. The women are asking that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) release women who are under 21 and women with medical conditions and mothers. They are also demanding improved conditions inside the facility and for their immigration cases to proceed more quickly. (Credit: Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)
