4 detainees escape Newark immigration facility; food delays, protest fuel criticism of Trump's detention policy
Four detainees broke out of an immigration facility in Newark after breaching a wall during what officials describe as unrest. Guards reportedly lost control, allowing the escape into a nearby parking lot. The situation escalated into protests over delayed meals, with claims of pepper spray use. Local leaders, including Senator Andy Kim and Mayor Ras Baraka, framed it as an "uprising" against chaotic conditions, adding fuel to ongoing criticism of Trump’s detention policies.
