I went for a long walk to clear my head and came across two very proud geese showing off their babies. A little bit of respite from this terrible timeline.

Among the other atrocities at Delaney Hall last night, state police in riot gear attacked and arrested an elderly man playing a cello through the tear gas and mounted police assault. Well done, Mikie Sherrill. He was so dangerous.

From on the ground at Delaney Hall— protestors being shot with pepper balls and flash bangs by ICE and state police at the same time.

“Put down your hatred.” #DelaneyHall

The NY Post is calling this an “Anti-ICE mob.” #DelaneyHall

ICE beat, gassed, and dragged multiple protestors into Delaney Hall last night. I really hope this woman isn’t who I think it is. Her husband is already detained inside, and they have a ten year old daughter who was been out there during the day.

Look at the size of the crowd at Delaney Hall. Power to the people.

ICE is shoving protestors into an active street and beating them with batons as cars are mowing down the road at Delaney Hall.

ICE and ERO are attacking protestors at Delaney as we speak.

This man seems to be directing a lot of the violence at Delaney Hall. Here he is without his mask, with a baton in one hand and a tear gas canister in the other, directing other ICE agents to teargas and assault protestors.

ICE tear-gassed protestors at point blank range last night 5/27 at Delaney Hall detention camp, before shoving a protestor into a roadway, where his leg was crushed by an 18 wheeler.

More video right after ICE tear-gassed protestors at Delaney last night 5/27.

More footage of ICE assaulting and pepper spraying protestors at Delaney Hall on 5/26.

More footage from last night at Delaney Hall. Pretty sure this was one of the times ICE tased a protestor.

This guy stopped and said something like “stop worrying about what’s going on here.” No plates.

At the Roxbury NJ site where ICE is not yet supposed to be operating because of an environmental study under court supervision, unmarked, no plate vehicles are coming and going on the regular.

Trump says the protestors are paid agitators. I know who’s getting paid here and it’s not the folks singing Give Peace a Chance. #DelaneyHall yesterday.

Last night, this colleague who has been at Delaney pretty much non-stop and has been gassed, spoke in Roxbury NJ to try to stop a new detention center. Please watch this. She is just a mom. You can make a difference, and it is time to step up.

Last night, ICE purposefully targeted medic, pacifist & veteran Adam Marshall, an organizer with Eyes on ICE, while he was trying to help protestors at Delaney Hall who had been gassed three times. They slammed him to the ground and ripped off his gas mask. He was arrested and dumped 10 miles away.

More video from today at Delaney Hall. In the background at the start you can see Andy Kim trying to help a man ICE was beating in the middle of the street.

Outside Elizabeth Detention Center where Martin Soto was unlawfully transferred for organizing prisoners at Delaney Hall, the protest presence is growing. Word on the ground is there are also white supremacists there and the situation is volatile. credit Cosecha NJ @cosecha.bsky.social

I’ve had a week where truly I have debated abandoning all social media dozens of times. So much abuse, so many abhorrent comments that I literally woke up in the middle of the night last night and thought “I am removing myself because I don’t want to be treated like this anymore.” Then came this.
