Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill has repeatedly claimed that conditions in the Delaney Hall ICE facility are abhorrent, inhuman, and intolerable. Democratic leaders claimed that the conditions were so horrific that there was a hunger strike going on. As is often the case, there is a closed loop of information fueling such claims. The media ran allegations from advocacy groups, politicians repeated the media reports as fact, and then lawyers cited both as the basis for a lawsuit to shut down the site. The problem is an actual federal inspection that found the facility to be in compliance with virtually every standard.
The most recent investigative report conducted by the DHS Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) found compliance with 17 out of 22 standards. The errors were comparatively minor to the sweeping claims made by Sherrill and others.
The investigation, performed by six OPR officers and four outside contractors, found only 5 areas of violation, including ice buildup in the freezers, fingerprinting omissions, and improper labeling of cleaning equipment.
Moreover, ICE has supplied records showing that state officials have been allowed into the facility for their own inspections, releasing proof from a May 28 visit. Despite such access, Democratic politicians and activists continued to spread the false claim that there have been no such inspections, rotting food, and disgusting conditions.
In support of the state lawsuit, Sherrill proclaimed
“If the GEO Group — with a $1 billion government contract — has nothing to hide and the conditions inside Delaney Hall are as safe and as sanitary as this private corporation and the Trump Administration claim, then there is no legitimate reason why my health inspectors are being kept from full access throughout the building. The people of New Jersey deserve transparency and accountability, and I will continue using all the power of this office to advocate for the detainees and their families.”
The complaint generally refers to public reports as the basis for the action:
“Since then, public reporting has raised significant concerns about public health conditions in the facility, including overcrowding and lack of ventilation; lack of or inadequate medical care or hygiene practices; unsanitary food and drink preparation and storage; and the unchecked spread of communicable diseases like COVID-19 and Influenza.”
That will make for an interesting hearing on the new lawsuit, where the court may question the good-faith accounts made in filings or public statements. The complaint is notably framed in vague terms about the underlying claims and the sources for those allegations.
It notably only asks for access, avoiding a direct demand for a finding of violations.
In the meantime, Sherrill continues to claim that local police are present to protect protesters from the ICE violence and repeats these claims about conditions at the facility.
DHS has continued to rebut claims made by politicians and pundits. However, few of those facts are penetrating the coverage of the protests or changing the sweeping claims being made by elected officials.
This lawsuit could allow for a full consideration of the claims and the facts surrounding the facility.
Here is the complaint: Washington v. The GEO Group
Mullins at DHS should CLOSE TSA at all airports in states which refuse to cooperate with DHS and ICE
Democrats say they can commit treason helping illegal aliens.
When there is NO law saying Federal Government has to provide TSA to their airports
CLOSE DOWN THEIR Air Traffic
remember when DEMOCRATS FIRED normal people from the military for refusing to TAX the FAKE COVID VAX?
cognitive dissonance? have you felt it before? Who said the gov’t facilitites were good to go? gov’t. Who said vax was safe? gov’t. so who is lying? gov’t. you belive what you want with out evidence. youre dumb.
and if you really want to go at it:
You are saying that you trust the private prison group geo over the people inside the facility or their family/representatives.
Also that you dont trust the scientific community when it comes to vaccines.
So your politics determine facts for you. Youre an idiot and anyone who believes thinks like this is a problem. at least for the rest of us dont reproduce
Reminder Gov Sherrill actually had no accomplishments before being selected in a NO-ID vote
not allowed to attend graduation at the Naval Academy
basic transport helicopter pilot in DEI navy
low level nothing lawyer
DEI appointed to the DOJ and did ZERO
worthless Democrat Rep from NJ
Never actually managed anything….pre selected to Govern NJ
1st task….COMMIT TREASON by helping illegal invaders avoid ICE!
Reminder Gov Sherrill actually had no accomplishments before … so what? What did Trump have for accomplishments?
You’re kidding right? You really don’t know?
Take off the TDS blinders. Wearing them ruins objectivity.
When Americans got their 1st DL at age 16 or permit at age 15.5 years a birth certificate was required and then it was a legal photo ID. This was before everyone/anyone could get a DL of course. Birth certs were verified and people at county offices were bonded people. It’s absurd. Jeff Bezos might say if I ran Amazon like the…
☺
I did those things in California at 15.5 and 16 and I know I didn’t need a birth certificate because I needed one a few years later in order to get a passport. Previously, I was enrolled in public schools in California for ten years and my parents never needed my birth certificate either because they would’ve let me use their copy if they had one. Also I registered to vote at a few places in California and never needed a birth certificate. All such requirements or non-requirements for a birth certificate followed Prop 187 in 1994.
Your age currently is? 25?
Democrats are paid liars!
We need to start punishing these traitors!
Funny thing about the “hunger strike,” insiders report, yes, the detainees where in fact NOT eating the provided food by the facility.
What the detainees were doing was stocking up at the commissary on things like Doritos.
DHS released the menu of food provided. Looked like typical cafeteria food.
Meanwhile, the optics were not going well for governor Sherrill of the massive violence anti-ICE protesters were conducting at the facility in the guise of “peaceful protest,” and she had to call in the state police. A number of anti-ICE protesters got arrested. A number of them were from Portland OR.

“insiders report”? You mean your MiL works there?
“optics” you say? But the facts support her complaint, how else could it make into the court docket?
You are missing the step that the court must see the fact claims and establish likely veracity.
What a bunch of whiney snowflake lapdogs. trump says sit and you sit. all you fake “dont tread on me” boomers are so quick to believe anything the government tells you. When did you stop thinking for yourselves and let gov’t tell you what to do. So afraid of big gov’t, but believe every word they say when its some orange fraud. only gop conservatives could be so dumb.
You could not be more wrong.
We have known about the anti-ICE antifa agitators at the Delaney Hall facility long before the good professor posted this article today.
We have known about the false reporting of rotten food and poor conditions at the facility. We questioned the reporting as anyone should when it is based off . . . nothing.
We knew governor Sherrill went to the facility over Memorial Day weekend to show “support” for the violent anti-ICE antifa protestors. You know, the ones so peaceful, governor Sherrill had to call out the state police to stop a riot this past weekend where several of those “peaceful” protesters got arrested.
“You could not be more wrong.” Doesn’t it depend on what propaganda source you believe? If you’re easily fooled by pictures and videos, then go for it. If you are not on the front lines in NJ, you have no idea what’s taking place. Sure, go ahead, keep making up lies about nonexistent facts.
Where did I lie?
In the dining room? A guess
Facts don’t matter to the Democrat Fascists and insurrectionists. Politicians like Sherrill–who is a liar and a fraud–unleash their Fascist thugs on federal agents. Why should Democrats care? The Demedia runs cover for them, always.
Isn’t it ironic Sherrill wants the out of state protesters to leave! Isn’t that what this ICE facility is trying to accomplish i.e. illegal invaders namely to leave the country.
Leave? Not at all. She showed up to give them all moral support. Even a senator too.
Wrong again,
“You should not be here,” she said of those who came to create chaos. “You are not helping the people detained at Delaney Hall. You’re not helping detainee families and you’re certainly not keeping New Jersey safe.”

News Flash: Unreleased DHS report clears DHS of wrongdoing.
So the political left and the mainstream media have been lying to us? Gasp! What a shock!
Facts that contradict the political left’s narrative are all considered to be lies and a conspiracy to hide the truth and therefore irrelevant, you can’t confuse leftist activists with actual facts, they’ll just call you a liar.
Political left’s activists have repeatedly shown me that their emotional hysteria reigns supreme over actual facts, they truly are cultish and delusional.
More dim rat bs
When the Courts start fining Attorneys and Parties initiating these frivolous suits in the $Millions, this crap will stop.
Fine them for filing lawsuits? What do you think courts are for?
Agreed, but steps should be taken to prevent the destruction of our court system. Perhaps stronger Bar standards and actions?
Long ago NYS passed frivolous lawsuit legislation. that made it more costly to file suit just to jam up the works and cause delays. Anyone with a legitimate suit really had nothing to worry about. Seems like a fine idea, although the level of blatant partisanship in today’s judiciary might break the idea.
Fundamental issue: dishonesty and malevolent actors who think the truth can be overridden by repeated nonsense. Postmodern psychopaths need to be confined to institutions and I don’t mean public office or the Dept of Education.
This political theater will gin up the Democratic base (as if they’re not already) but how many Republicans or sane Democrats will find this nonsense persuasive?
It doesn’t matter what the administration says in a Congressional hearing or in an OIG report that no one ever sees or hears or even hears about.
The press will not report these facts and will constantly report the opposite… @TheDemocrats’ lies about @DHSgov
It’s disgusting and there is no solution that I can see other than a friendly (or not) divorce like the Czechs and the Slovaks, the Italians and the Vatican, the Irish, etc.
Give western CA and southern AZ and NM back to Mexico, maybe Canada will want western WA and OR, and all the area east of the Appalachian Trail north of the Mason Dixon can become it’s own country (sorry Northern Maine and I have no idea what to do about Chicago-no one will want it)
The press will not report these facts and will constantly report the opposite… if no one sees those reports, then how can the press print the opposite?
No one wants a solution, the status quo is what both parties want and need. Politics is not a zero sum game.
“Sherrill continues to claim that local police are present to protect protesters from the ICE violence”. Whew!
She is being as honest as she was at Annapolis. Skin-deep integrity. Willing to slyly claim anything to expand her self power, and possibly move “up”. Her name is Sherrill
And only Dems. are dishonest? His name is Trump.
😄 So you agree about Sherril. Good.
Come On Man! Didn’t anybody learn anything from the Clintons and Rahm Emanuel? If you don’t have a CRISIS then MAKE A CRISIS. ICE BAD, ORANGE MAN BAD, SOTUS BAD, Everything not Freaky and Bizzaro is BAD! Whew, thank goodness Mikie was paying attention to Clinton Foundation teachings.
Come On Man! What are you screaming about?
The media should be sued too, for spreading knowingly false information.
Sued? For what? How? By who? When? Why? Who will pay? Many questions and no answer.
I disagree.
We need MSM to continue to gaslight America so when the real facts come out, Americans know full well to distrust them.
And they did it, all by themselves!
Funny how the Democrats turned a blind eye to the prison conditions for the J6’ers.
As would have Republicans if they were in power that day. No party is guiltless in the corruption of this country.
Democrats help illegal invaders
Republicans deport illegal invaders
They aren’t the same!
Governor Mikie Sherrill, a failing leader.
