Car Hits Protester Outside Delaney Hall ICE Jail During Father’s Day Vigil

HeadlineJun 22, 2026

In Newark, New Jersey, a Father’s Day vigil was held outside the privately run ICE jail known as Delaney Hall on Sunday. Families and supporters held signs reading “Free the dads, close the camps.” The vigil was disrupted when a red sports car entering the facility struck a female protester who was waving an upside-down U.S. flag. Demonstrators said they believe the driver of the car was an employee of the GEO Group, the for-profit private prison company that operates the ICE jail. Soon after, ICE agents deployed pepper spray and mace on the crowd.
