Mikie Sherrill gave ICE what they wanted. Read on.

Love everybody the way dogs do!

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

This is insane for an entire theater, for an indefinite period. Free-fire zones are a thing, but for U.S./NATO troops, they're limited to individual engagements. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two large-scale examples over the combined 20-year-long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Just heard @npr.org describe Delaney Hall protests as “violent clashes,” parroting Gov. Sherrill. I’m not there & haven’t seen all, but I’ve not seen evidence of protester violence. Only ICE & police violence. NPR offers none; not even an alleged example.

I agree, and I think it’s because we’re seeing the complicity of Democrats in upholding fascism entirely unmasked— because we’re seeing that it’s not just Trump who will enforce the protection of concentration camps with violence, it’s people we counted on too.

I can't quite articulate why, but it feels like what's going down at and around Delaney Hall the past several days is a new tipping point, worse than LA, Chicago and Minneapolis. It feels like we're really spiraling into ... I don't know what.

Folks, I am not and never will say "don't vote." But you have no idea how disgusted and devastated people are here on the ground in NJ after what Sherrill has done. Our friends / many of us have been beaten, gassed, flashbanged, shot with less lethals, and arrested at the hands of our Dem governor

In each city this happens in we hope the police will protect the citizens from ICE. Repeatedly we are let down as they use the same excessive force. I’m tired of people thinking it won’t happen in their town and that their police won’t join in.

Police try to move press further back as arrests are made outside Delaney Hall, journalist @jonfarina (@statuscoup) wasn't having it.

Holy shit the state police are in hand to hand combat with some protestors. Status Coup reporter hit with riot shields.

JUST IN: a rally is being planned by Indivisible in front of Mikie Sherrill’s office in Trenton NJ tomorrow at 2 pm to demand answers concerning her deplorable actions at Delaney Hall. Get there if you can. www.mobilize.us/cooperriveri...

🚨"Somebody is gonna get killed out here! The state police are gonna kill somebody tonight! That one before almost hit several people!" our Jon Farina shouts last night as NJ police fire flash bang grenades into middle of densely packed unarmed anti-ICE protesters. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social ⬇️

Lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia: I don’t want it to be lost how courageous Kilmar has been and how he’s made some very hard decisions in the course of this litigation. He didn’t have to go down this path of fighting and exposing the administration for what they’re doing.

This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

Men need to do hard emotional things and face emotional realities The only way over is through

We do not help men when we take the hard work away to accommodate their comfort

We are in such a bad situation y’all. We cheer when Democrats get elected but so many of them capitulate and turn on their supporters. The great hope of moderate Dems is that we will win elections and then everything will be fine. But very few have moral courage or backbone.

WHAT THE FUCK @mikiesherrill.bsky.social ?? A NY TIMES REPORTER BROKE HER KNEE AT DELANEY HALL LAST NIGHT & NJ STATE POLICE REFUSED TO LET HER GO TO THE HOSPITAL

Woke up to reports that a press person was so badly injured last night at Delaney Hall that they were in a wheelchair and had to beg state police for five minutes to be let through the line, screaming in pain A friend who was there said “it’s a war zone and I can’t believe there aren’t fatalities.”

This is an image that should haunt Mikie Sherrill for the rest of her natural life.

"THIS IS A WAR ZONE!” Cops UNLEASH Grenades, Horses on ICE Protesters Status Coup News and MeidasTouch The labor strike inside the detention center continues strong as detainees protest inhumane conditions and treatment inside the facility. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGr6...

If the first amendment only applies in government protected zones, it doesn't apply at all.

I can't recommend enough watching live streams from independent media. Recommend @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and @andrew-mercado.bsky.social. Even if you don't agree with their politics you will see unfiltered and live what is happening.

1) Someone really needs to push back on this idea of 1st Amendment zones. I haven't taught polisci 101 in 20 years, but last time I checked the entire US was a 1st Amendment zone. 2) What's the point of having 1st Amendment zones if you're just going to have police rampage through them?

Remember, behind all this police violence are detainees who are starving, denied medical attention, in squalid conditions. What Mikie Sherrill did with her choices was remove all focus from the strikers demands and their human rights, and that alone is despicable.

Multiple protestors very badly injured from rubber bullets at Delaney Hall and tear gas. The medic tent had to be abandoned because state police kept gassing it.

🚨"We're getting tear gassed the hell out of here!" our Will Allen-DuPraw shouts as NJ state police fire tear gas at unarmed anti-ICE protesters as glass breaks on the street. WE'RE LIVE ⬇️

🚨Ian Austin, 6-tour combat veteran, shows us his injury after NJ state police struck him with a projectile outside Delaney Hall ICE prison. "We're willing to f*cking die here!" he shouts at police. WE'RE LIVE ⬇️

I think tonight is more violent than last night at Delaney.

Why do police almost always escalate?? Why??

here we go again #delaneyhall

LIVE NOW: Another night cop assault action at Delaney Hall, #NewJersey: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbnk... #AbolishICE #teargas #NewJerseyCOPS #policeviolence

I don't understand the power plays of the police in NJ right now. Commonsense steps: talk to organizers and work out asks. Let the go up to the building. The building is fortified. What do you think these unarmed protestors are going to do? Why is the tear gas and the riot gear necessary??

State police to Newark protestors: just stay in your pen and everything will be fine.

“If we didn’t brutalize them, ICE would do it much worse!”

We were just talking about this a few days ago. I can say what MAGA/Trump wants to do, easily, but I cannot say what the Democratic party will do, and that's been the case for so, so many years.

Most liberals are just not that serious about things getting better just being comfortable

Every single time I mention on here that the Democratic party has not told its voters what it actually will DO if given power, there are ALWAYS people who lose their shit in my mentions. Then I ask them what the party has told them they will do? and it's either silence, platitudes or "oversight"

Brief summary of what happened last night at Delaney Hall: At 3 pm Governor Sherrill announced with the NY AG that she was sending state police to Delaney Hall, with the posture that this was to protect protestors and kettle them away (an oxymoron). Around 9:45 pm, protestors and organizers

Tonight, New Jersey State Police nearly trampled an elderly man playing a cello with their horses and arrested him outside ICE detention facility Delaney Hall. It’s unclear what they hoped to accomplish, as the crowd of people he was playing alongside have not dispersed.

Again: the NJ state police report to the AG. The AG reports to Sherrill. The AG was standing next to Sherrill today when she announced she was sending the state police to Delaney Hall. Sherrill ordered an attack on her own constituents.

Note for people with uteruses: All tear gas is an abortifacient. Tear gas is known to trigger "tear gas periods" within 24-48 hours after exposure; bleeding may last a long time. These usually feature heavier flow and more severe cramping than normal.

seeing reports confirming this consistently including through active livestreams. some coverage made it sound like state cops taking over for ICE in the streets meant peace / at least less violence; it just means their strategy + repression is more organized than ICE’s slate of untrained agents.

Let’s not forget that we are on Day 8 of a hunger and labor strike by 300 detainees who were beaten and gassed inside yesterday at Delaney Hall. Mikie Sherrill just abandoned them completely, and worse than that enabled their abusers.

Mikie Sherrill state police just shot tear gas at reporters.

A Washington state jury found three protesters guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of an ICE bus that was attempting to relocate prisoners last year. They face a maximum sentence of six years in prison and/or $250,000 in fines. Important reporting from @rangemedia.co:

🚨 POLICE HORSES & FLASH-BANGS 🚨 On Day 8 of the Delaney Hall hunger/labor strike, chaos erupts outside the Newark ICE prison as a police horse comes dangerously close to @jordanchariton.bsky.social and Jon Farina-- then a flash bang is deployed right next to them moments later. WATCH LIVE ⬇️

Well so much for the whole “NJ State Police will restrain things and maybe it won’t be as violent tonight.”

If you’re not watching turn on status coup. Mikie Sherril has ordered the state police to clear all the protesters from Delaney detention hall.
