Delaney Hall detainees seek crime-victim visas after alleged abuse during protests
Aug 20, 2026 · Newark, NJ, Peru
More than 10 people detained at the Delaney Hall ICE facility are seeking U visas, typically reserved for crime victims aiding law enforcement, alleging they suffered abuse including beatings and tear-gassing by guards. The requests, made to New Jersey's attorney general, come amid an ongoing state investigation into civil rights abuses at the facility following a hunger and labor strike earlier this summer. GEO Group and DHS have denied allegations of mistreatment.
