More than 80 people have been arrested during protests outside the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in New Jersey over the past two weeks, according to law enforcement officials. The demonstrations have resulted in charges including rioting, assault, and violating curfew orders.

The protests have been described as turbulent by authorities, though specific details about the incidents leading to arrests have not been fully disclosed. Delaney Hall serves as an immigrant detention facility operated by federal immigration authorities.

The situation has drawn attention from state officials, with Governor Phil Murphy's office indicating that the Department of Homeland Security's actions at the facility raise "serious questions." Representative Mikie Sherrill has reportedly been denied access to visit the detention center by immigration officials.

The protests appear to be part of broader demonstrations related to immigration enforcement and detention policies. The arrests span multiple days of demonstrations, suggesting ongoing tensions between protesters and law enforcement in the area.

Federal immigration authorities have not immediately responded to requests for comment about the protests or the reported restrictions on congressional access to the facility. The charges against the arrested individuals are being processed through local and federal court systems.
