BREAKING🚨 While Trump spent Memorial Day ranting online, a sitting U.S. senator was choking on tear gas outside an ICE jail in New Jersey — because he refused to leave frightened families alone. New Jersey Senator Andy Kim went to the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark after days of protests by families and advocates. Inside, hundreds of migrants are on a hunger and work strike over what they describe as horrific conditions: rotting food, filthy bathrooms, medical neglect, and people held for months without real hearings. Outside, relatives and clergy had been camped on the sidewalk, begging for answers and for someone in power to see what was happening. Kim showed up, grabbed a megaphone, and tried to calm things down while insisting ICE talk to him and the families instead of hiding behind the gates. Instead, armored agents poured out. According to multiple reports, ICE officers in masks advanced on the crowd, shoving demonstrators to the ground and firing pepper balls and spray into a packed line of protesters and legal observers. Kim was caught in the blast, clutching his face and hand as volunteers flushed his eyes with water. He later said he struggled to breathe and watched agents tackle people who were already backing away. Video of a sitting senator being treated on the curb spread across social media within hours — a snapshot of exactly how far Trump’s deportation machine has spun out of control. This is not an isolated “clash.” Delaney Hall is run by private prison giant GEO Group, under a fresh ICE contract that civil rights groups have been warning about for months. Letters smuggled out by detainees describe maggots in the food, mold on the walls, guards mocking people in solitary, and basic medical requests ignored. The ACLU of New Jersey has called the facility “a monument to a cruel, for-profit immigration agenda” and is demanding it be shut down. When New Jersey’s governor herself tried to inspect Delaney Hall this week, ICE refused to let her in. So on a day when politicians post flag emojis and talk about “sacrifice,” Andy Kim was standing in a cloud of chemical agents trying to protect the people Trump’s government is deliberately disappearing into concrete boxes. He’s the son of Korean immigrants watching federal officers gas immigrant families in his own state — and he’s saying out loud that this isn’t public safety, it’s state-sanctioned abuse. If you want to know who’s actually fighting for democracy and basic human dignity, don’t look at the Memorial Day tweets. Look at who’s willing to stand between terrified constituents and a line of federal agents in riot gear. If you appreciate my posts, it would mean the world if you followed my page.
