Delaney Hall, the ICE facility in New Jersey, has been the latest target of the Democrats' anti-ICE crusade. Thanks to Democrat lies about the facility, likes that were debunked by New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who visited the facility.
But that reality doesn't matter to Democrats. They have one goal: shut down ICE and Border Patrol, which is nothing more than a de facto abolition of America's immigration laws. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who has helped foment the violent riots against ICE, said as much.
He wants Delaney Hall shut down because, he claims, there's 'irrefutable evidence' that the facility is 'uninhabitable.'
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka just claimed Delaney Hall detention facility should be shut down because there is "actual, uh, irrefutable evidence' that the place is uninhabitable."

"Reality: DHS has directly rejected this as political theater. Detainees receive 3 meals daily, including fajitas, stir-fry, and BBQ chicken. They also get full medical/dental/mental health care, clean bedding, recreation access, and phones for lawyers/family. No verified hunger strike exists. Their care and quality of food is higher than many had before they were detained. The entire thing is a staged op," Kolvet wrote.
So the problem is with the New Jersey Health inspectors?

Right. They seem to have dropped the ball if Delaney Hall is that bad. But it's not that bad.
On May 28, the state of New Jersey’s health inspectors went to Delaney Hall and they didn’t find one single violation. Meanwhile, the New Jersey state prison system has “DEPLORABLE” conditions.

"No lawbreakers in the history of human civilization have been better treated than illegal aliens," wrote DHS. "While sanctuary politicians continue to promote hoaxes about ICE detention facilities, we’ll keep working to get criminal illegal aliens OUT of our country."
What evidence? Let us see it? Don’t make claims you can’t back up you freaking frauds. https://t.co/nlN8X6sWl7

They don't need evidence. The narrative is what's important.
