Former Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino criticized the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) response to protests at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in New Jersey. Protests began last week, with demonstrators expressing concerns over the conditions inside the facility, where detainees have initiated a hunger strike. Bovino stated that the protests should have been resolved quickly, suggesting that the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, is endangering both law enforcement and detainees by not taking stronger action. Mullin reported that local police did not assist DHS officers during the protests, which resulted in multiple arrests for assaulting law enforcement. The situation has drawn attention from New Jersey Democrats, including Senator Andy Kim, who was pepper-sprayed by ICE officers, and Governor Mikie Sherrill, who was denied access to the facility.
