At least 20 protesters were arrested after violent clashes at Delaney Hall in Newark, with DHS reporting an agent was bitten. The agency gave conflicting statements about whether a hunger strike was happening at the facility.
At least 20 protesters were arrested after violent clashes at Delaney Hall in Newark. DHS reported that an agent was bitten during the confrontation, and gave conflicting accounts about whether a hunger strike was occurring at the facility—statements that contradicted each other within the same reporting cycle.
The inconsistency in DHS's statements is the real story. When a government agency can't keep its facts straight about what's happening in a facility it operates, it suggests either chaos inside or deliberate opacity. The arrest count and physical confrontation are significant, but the conflicting narratives about whether detainees were engaged in protest activity raises bigger questions about what's actually being hidden and why the agency's account kept shifting.
