Butler Dems

So happy he is our Senator.

Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey, has been the site of escalating clashes in recent days as demonstrators have gathered in support of detainees on a reported hunger strike over poor conditions in the facility, only to be met with force from federal agents. Numerous arrests have taken place, including of nine demonstrators who were taken into custody last Thursday.

New Jersey senator Andy Kim was involved in one of these skirmishes last Monday when he visited the site and was hit with pepper spray alongside protesters. Kim is just the latest local politician to find himself on the front lines of the fight over Delaney Hall, which was reopened as a detention facility last year.

Nia Prater spoke with Kim on Friday about what he learned during his visit to Delaney Hall and whether anything has really changed at the Department of Homeland Security since Kristi Noem’s firing.

So Butler Dems (and beyond) get in your Vote By Mail ballots for the June 2 Primary— or make a plan to vote on June 2 at your polling place.
