Family visits resumed Sunday at Delaney Hall, a privately operated ICE detention center in Newark, after days of protests, clashes with federal officers and a hunger strike by detainees alleging unsafe and unsanitary conditions inside the facility.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said limited visitation resumed at noon Sunday and regular visiting hours would return the following day. "It is critical that outside actors allow this to happen safely," Sherrill wrote on X, while continuing to call on the Department of Homeland Security to improve detainee medical care, stop pressuring migrants to sign deportation documents and ultimately close the facility.
