Outside anti-ICE agitators have traveled across the country to stoke violence outside Delaney Hall \u2014 the embattled immigration detention center in New Jersey, officials said Monday.<\/p>\n

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin made the revelation on Monday, saying that hooligans from as far away as Portland, Oregon, have wreaked havoc outside the Newark facility.<\/p>\n

Twenty-one protesters were arrested\u00a0for allegedly assaulting federal officers outside Delaney Hall between May 26 and May 29. At least another 20 were arrested on Sunday alone.<\/p>\n

Mullin on Monday praised the New Jersey state police after the state reluctantly dispatched officers to help the feds reign in the unruly mob after a week of anarchy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see over and over again in these sanctuary cities and sanctuary states where law enforcement officers, they want to do their job, that\u2019s why they signed up to do their job. So often, you have radical left leadership that doesn\u2019t allow them to do so,\u201d Mullin said at a press conference on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when they did show up [at Delaney Hall], they quickly realized these aren\u2019t peaceful protesters that the radical left politicians were telling you about,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

Mullin called the protesters \u201cwell-organized\u201d and \u201cwell-supplied\u201d \u2014 hours after federal officers tore down a volunteer camp stocked with supplies intended for detainees\u2019 families and loved ones.<\/p>\n

Portland has seen repeated anti-ICE demonstrations since June 2025. Protests flared monthly since then, and in March, one dim-wit accidentally set himself on fire while trying to burn an American flag\u00a0outside a city immigration facility.<\/p>\n

Mullin didn\u2019t identify any other states the agitators may have traveled from, or how many have been arrested in total. The Post reached out to DHS for more information.<\/p>\n

So far, at least two agitators, both native to the tristate area, have been charged for their alleged misconduct.<\/p>\n

Brendan John Geier, a 26-year-old from Madison, New Jersey,\u00a0allegedly sank his teeth into federal law enforcement officers during a demonstration last week. He was previously accused of distributing child pornography while he was in college.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Nicholas Matthew Scelfo, a 27-year-old Brooklynite, was charged for allegedly threatening to kill an agent and his family during a heated confrontation at Delaney Hall on May 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll kill your whole f\u2013king family. Your whole f\u2013king family is dead. Your children, your wife, all dead,\u201d the agitator was heard shouting at federal agents in video footage captured by witnesses.<\/p>\n
