In New Jersey, police arrested nine people Saturday at a demonstration outside the Bergen County Jail in support of prisoners who have gone on hunger strike to protest their treatment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Police used smoke grenades and pepper spray to clear the solidarity rally. Activists are demanding the release of all prisoners during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here in New York, protesters held a march in support of the hunger strikers on Friday. At least six people were injured — some of them with broken bones — after a driver rammed her car into a crowd of protesters. She was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment.
