(The Center Square) — New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is calling on the Trump administration to shut down a Newark ICE detention facility that has been rocked by violent protests over the past week.Â
The demand comes after New Jersey's Department of Health said it was allegedly denied "full access" to Delaney Hall to investigate allegations of unsanitary conditions and abuse of detainees being held at the facility on immigration charges.Â
