Undercover Video Shows Coordinated Newark ICE Protest Camp
“5 out of the 6 arrests last night were people from OUTSIDE of New Jersey. There is a coordinated campaign of violence against our ICE law enforcement.”
What’s happening outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark is no longer a protest. It’s an organized, multi-front assault on federal law enforcement. This weekend, it forced city officials to impose a curfew while federal and state authorities made clear they know exactly who is fueling it.
The current unrest dates back several weeks to the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the facility itself. Federal officials alleged Baraka entered Delaney Hall without authorization and refused repeated orders to leave, thrusting the detention center into the national spotlight and hardening the standoff between local officials and federal immigration authorities.
A new undercover video from independent journalist Nick Sortor added another layer to that picture, showing what appears to be a well-funded, well-supplied encampment operating near the facility.

Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars of equipment, food, and even RIOT EQUIPMENT has been supplied.
Hot food delivered every hour.

The footage shows tents, bulk supplies, hot food, signage, and what Sortor described as riot equipment. That level of logistical organization doesn’t happen by accident. The video alone doesn’t name the funders, but it puts the lie to any claim that this is a spontaneous, grassroots protest. Someone is bankrolling this operation, and officials at multiple levels are now saying the same thing out loud. The Department of Homeland Security put numbers to it.

“5 out of the 6 arrests last night were people from OUTSIDE of New Jersey.
There is a coordinated campaign of violence against our ICE law enforcement.
Our ICE law enforcement officers are facing an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them.
This violence against law enforcement must end.”
In the same press conference, Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) acknowledged masked individuals attacked barriers, threw projectiles, used barricades as weapons, and set tires on fire. She called in additional law enforcement to restore order, then declared, “We simply cannot let ICE surge into our community,” and renewed her call for Delaney Hall’s closure. The governor of New Jersey watched a mob attack law enforcement and responded by siding with the mob’s underlying demand.
The mayor, who was himself arrested at Delaney Hall weeks ago, is now imposing a curfew around it.
MAYOR RAS J. BARAKA STATEMENT
ACTIVATING CURFEW FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AT DELANEY HALL pic.twitter.com/2LakahTDpg— City of Newark (@CityofNewarkNJ) May 31, 2026
In his statement, Baraka cited the “escalating situation,” confirmed multiple arrests, and noted that some individuals had allegedly been found with weapons. The curfew runs nightly from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. within a half-mile radius of Delaney Hall. Doremus Avenue will be closed to pedestrian traffic beginning at midnight, with vehicle access limited to verified official business. Violations will result in removal and potential legal action.
Earlier this week, a rioter singled out an unmasked ICE agent and screamed directly at him:
“I’ll kill your whole f***in’ family. Your whole f***in’ family is dead. Your children. Your wife. All dead. I have your face, mother***er.”
The footage spread instantly, and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche went on Fox News to make a personal promise:
“I promise you, we will find him, and when we find him, we will arrest him.”
The FBI made good on that promise within days. Blanche’s announcement was characteristically brief:
“Told you. FAFO.”
Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, called Sunday for immediate federal prosecution.
These rioters are using violence to stop federal law enforcement from doing their jobs.
That is textbook seditious conspiracy and insurrection, along with assault, conspiracy, and many other serious federal felonies.@USAO_NJ Robert Frazer must bring charges immediately. https://t.co/o6RP4JQ7sg

The full scope of outside coordination may still be under investigation, but the broad strokes are no longer in serious dispute. Someone is bankrolling this, someone is organizing it, and federal, state, and city officials are now managing the results: sustained violence, confirmed outside agitators, a formal curfew, and mounting calls for federal seditious conspiracy charges. Now, the question is who gets held accountable for it.

Shocked. Shocked I tell you.
It’s clobberin time. Hurt them. Overwhelming force and fill the emergency rooms with fractures. I wonder who pays the doctor bills?
We do – they aren’t “employed”
Let loose the hounds of war, after, of course, underfeeding them for a couple of days.
.
Just tell them we’re importing Israeli rape dogs, and they’ll self-deport.
IMO the ‘rape dog’ story getting traction has gotta be the best example of adherence to the ‘narrative’ no matter how implausible/Cray Cray over basic common sense skepticism so far this decade.
Vile, stupid and evil communist/Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist Dhimmi-crat apparatchiks, supporting criminals and terrorists, against law enforcement and law and order.
Nothing new under the Sun.
Conspiracy?
Conspiracy anyone?
RICO
from out of town
isnt that an interstate crime in there somewheres!!??
In violation of the Travel Act
The Travel Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1952, is a Federal criminal statute which forbids the use of the U.S. mail, or interstate or foreign travel, for the purpose of engaging in certain specified criminal acts.
It’s not sufficient that someone travels and then commits a crime at his destination. You have to prove that he traveled for the purpose of committing a crime. If the purpose of his travel was to engage in peaceful protest, and once there he was inspired to commit his crime, then you can only charge him with the crime itself, not with traveling for that purpose.
There is no peaceful protest there, so they couldn’t possibly have traveled there for a peaceful protest
Surely not everyone there is committing crimes. And even if they are, you can’t prove that they all came there intending to commit crimes. Peaceful protests do turn violent; that doesn’t mean that was always the plan, let alone that everyone was in on the plan.
Except these are not “peaceful protests” by any stretch of the imagination. That is blindingly obvious.
Irrelevant. You can’t prove that they didn’t travel with the intention of peacefully protesting.
We probably can’t prove it. Absent a leaked Signal chat where they discuss going to NJ to incite a riot, I think you’re correct. And I don’t think that they’re quite that stupid.
The only way the riots continue to happen and there is a well funded organization to supply, the rioters is because the FBI is in cahoots. The FBI is not doing anything about the attack on federal property. The FBI has the authority to arrest every single one of them that attacks the federal facilities or disrupts or obstructs the ice or CBP activities. Until FBI wants to get involved and arrest these people and throw them in federal prison, this is going to continue to happen.
One has to wonder why the FBI is not involved.
Yay! Another good guy named Nick.
People gonna have to face reality; these ain’t ‘protesters’ they are insurgents seeking to overturn the rule of law. The same statutes passed by the elected Congress and signed by the elected President.
Second American Civil War, 2026 – ?
Time to break out the agricultural drones and wash the encampments down with soapy water.
Even better is to make vagrancy a crime, round them up and place them in gulags where they raise crops, tend livestock and poultry, and live via their own effort.
This is the land filled with opportunity and can no longer offer charity through direct payment.
You can’t do any of that. Doing so would make you the criminal, and no better than them.
Considering the respect the law has been showing there I don’t think there’s any difference.
So you’re saying become a criminal yourself. Then what makes you better than them? What makes you right and them wrong? Once you join them, why not join them all the way?
Nah, you’re looking at this proposal too negatively.
It is gonna be an opportunity for these vagrants to learn soft skills of teamwork, interpersonal communication, group dynamics in a healthy, nurturing environment while also gaining hard skills of modern agricultural practices while getting the benefits of fresh air and exercise within a holistic program of rehabilitation focused on centering their individual recovery within the larger community.
Convicts can be sentenced to work, Agricultural labor isn’t oppressive or illegal but rather celebrated as noble and farmers portrayed as ‘salt of the Earth’. Can’t just round them up and set them to work, gotta have a quick trial and sentencing before giving them several rows to hoe.
Vagrancy laws are unconstitutional.
Sure in and of themselves, though only since SCOTUS said so in ’72, prior to that vagrancy was a constitutionally valid offense. However ordinances and laws against many of the activities common to them are absolutely Constitutional. Drug use, public camping(affirmed by SCOTUS just recencty) jerry rigged electricity, theft of service, over occupancy violations, fire code/health code violations, overnight parking, open flames, bad ventilation. If they have children with them exposed to unsafe conditions, dangerous surroundings that’s arguably child endangerment.
Yes, but we are discussing a proposal to “make vagrancy a crime”. You can’t do that.
Just round them up and send them to Gitmo.
Never to return.
And all the little genius rioters who decided they would challenge the 9pm curfew got kettled. With luck, they’ll be locked up until morning and get to parade one at a time in front of a cranky judge who will display all the kindness and sensitivity of the DC judges. Thankfully, none of them have jobs, so the real world will not be deeply affected.
The linked story is from a year ago.
“…federal and state authorities made clear they knew exactly who is fueling it”. That, to me, says they know who is funding it because without the money it all stops. Many of us have been saying for years that all these riots are being bankrolled by someone but where poo pooed and derided as conspiracy theorists. No, we are not. Someone is providing tents, food, sleeping bags etc. Remember the “spontaneous” encampments on college campuses that all happened to have the exact same tents?
ANTIFA has been designated as a domestic terrorist organization. Let’s start treating it that way. And, just as an aside, it ain’t just domestic.
No, it has not, because US law has no such designation. It doesn’t exist, so it can’t have been applied to anyone. Trump’s statement was just a meaningless press release, with no legal effect at all. He may as well have announced that he was designating antifa as a Pyrzqxgl.
Also, antifa is not an organization. Repeatedly asserting that it is one doesn’t make it one. Antifans are anarchists and they behave like anarchists. There are local groups that communicate with each other and sometimes cooperate, but that’s it. But it’s all irrelevant, because there is no such designation as “domestic terrorist organization”, so it wouldn’t matter if it were one.
Wrong-a-reno my friend. President Trump, the chief executive and head of the executive branch issued an executive order designating them as such for the purpose of focusing federal law resources on investigating and dismantling any illegal activities. That is a definitely within his constitutional authority. It is not “meaningless”. That’s something a warped AI might vomit out in a summary. I warned you about that.
You are wrong. The announcement that he had “designated” antifa was meaningless, because there is no such designation.
There is no such legal status as “domestic terrorist organization”, and that is what Trump purported to have made antifa, and what you claimed enabled actions against it that were not previously available.
What do you imagine you warned me about, and what the ***** does AI have to do with anything? Are you under the impression that anything I post comes from AI?!
Nope, The EO says otherwise. And as issued by the Chief Executive officer, it actually does mean something. Read it for yourself.
Concise, it doesn’t matter what the EO says. The president can’t create a legal category that doesn’t exist. The EO is nothing but a stupid press release. This is not a kingdom, and the president’s word is not law.
Even in England, the kingdom from which we descend, the king’s word was not law. The king was limited by an unwritten but very real constitution — as Charles 1 found out the hard way.
If the president were to issue an order officially designating the NRA as a “morning glory”, do you think this would have any legal effect?!
And, it should be noted, that attempts to downplay ANTIFA as a non entity are absurd. It definitely has an organizational structure. It operates as a decentralized horizontal network when engaged in its “mostly peaceful” law enforcement obstruction and riots. And its operational structure in no way prevents it from receiving support, funds and other resources, from foreign and domestic bad actors.
No, it does not have an organizational structure. It’s an ideological movement, not an organization. Individual supporters form ad hoc groups on a local basis, and communicate with like-minded groups elsewhere, but there is no structure. They’re anarchists, after all. They don’t believe in structure.
Yet, there is structure and network and funding that kept manifesting to obstruct federal law enforcement notwithstanding your inexplicably obstinate and silly denials. Sometimes I concede you make a good point, other times you simply cannot admit an error. We’re in the latter part here.
That’s like saying the “mafia” doesn’t have an organizational structure. Are they supposed to register as corporations? /S The fact is, the money comes from somewhere. It doesn’t just appear out of thin air. Someone or something is financing it and organizing these coordinated attacks. They are not spontaneous. Organized crime is criminal, whether it’s the Mafia or Antifa. Ideology doesn’t matter. It’s still criminal.
I think you are wrong. They claim to be a schists and no organization but clearly they are organized and receive monies both foreign and domestic. That money can be traced by the treasury and FBI and can be blocked or confiscated. We can do it to nations, business and individuals anywhere in the world and are currently doing it to the Iranians and have done it to other world criminals. The antifa clan gets it money from somewhere and I believe it is known from what sources. I don’t think the FBI, or treasury department want to do anything about stopping the criminal enterprise. They did it with the mafia, KKK, etc.
For something that is not an organization, they’re organized out the wazoo. Logistical supply lines, branding, press releases, interstate coordination, dress code. They even had a phone number you could call for a bit.
They’re “not an organization” only in the sense that they don’t file paperwork.
Antifa has none of those things. Individual groups do those things, but there isn’t any overall organization. If there was ever a phone number for something claiming to be “antifa” it was only to some individual group that couldn’t speak for anyone else.
It’s like “black lives matter”; there have been several organizations that used the name, but had nothing to do with most activities undertaken in that name, or with most people who identify with that name.
Anybody who’s actually surprised by this please raise your hand. Yeah, I didn’t expect to see any hands.
The anarchy on display has zilch to do with illegals/immigration/ICE and everything to do with overthrowing the system. Paid protesters/unemployed losers will do anything for a buck, including assaulting, causing bodily harm to law enforcement — that’s the whole point.
They know they can get away with it.
