What to know about Delaney Hall, where Newark's mayor was arrested
Delaney Hall, an immigrant detention facility in Newark, has drawn controversy since President Donald Trump's administration announced a billion-dollar deal with a private prison company in February to reopen the complex, part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's effort to expand its detention capacity in the Northeast.
Immigrant rights activists oppose the transformation of the former Newark prison into an immigrant detention center, saying it violates state laws and represents an affront to the deeply immigrant community.
