Delaney Hall becomes Markwayne Mullin's first test as DHS head
A private detention center in Newark, New Jersey, has become a focal point for protests and controversy under the new leadership of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Detainees at Delaney Hall Facility claim inhumane conditions and inadequate medical care, reportedly engaging in a hunger strike. However, DHS disputes these claims, with Mullin suggesting detainees are refusing food over specific dietary preferences and encouraging them to return to their home countries. State and local officials, including Governor Mikie Sherrill, are pushing for greater access to inspect the facility and have called for its closure. AI
