The mayor of Newark is to file a lawsuit Tuesday calling for the shutdown of the Delaney Hall immigration detention center after 10 days of clashes between keffiyeh-clad leftist yobs and law enforcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ras Baraka, 56, is filing the lawsuit on health and safety grounds, and lashed out at the GEO Group \u2013 the organization which runs the 1,000-bed New Jersey facility, NJ.com reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes all of us to stand against the injustices of the GEO group and ICE and the plight of innocent people incarcerated at Delaney Hall,\u201d the Democrat mayor told the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

News of the lawsuit comes after Baraka imposed an overnight curfew on protesters, which is in force between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

Despite the curfew, anti-ICE demonstrators continued to gather outside the facility \u2013 and some hurled abuse at a Newark councilwoman who called for peace, according to a video shared by Freedom News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for protesting. We thank you for coming down here,\u201d the lawmaker said before being interrupted by the mob.<\/p>\n

\u201cF\u2013k your thanks, go do something!\u201d one woman shouted after pulling down her mask.<\/p>\n

Bizarrely, the lawmaker then held hands with an officer to pray.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever you want to do, do it. God got this whether you like it or not,\u201d the lawmaker said, shouting above the commotion.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker was accused of being a \u201cfascist mouthpiece\u201d during the heated confrontation in a second video shared by Freedom News.<\/p>\n

Rabble-rousers were also heard chanting \u201cF\u2013k ICE\u201d and \u201cf\u2013k the police\u201d in footage shared by witness John Paredes.<\/p>\n

At least 61 arrests were made Monday night, according to NJ1015, and the outlet reported that some anti-ICE demonstrators were bussed in to cause chaos.<\/p>\n

During the weekend, masked demonstrators attacked a barrier in a designated protest area set up by state police and were \u201cthrowing projectiles, utilizing the barriers as weapons, and lighting tires on fire in the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions put both peaceful protestors and law enforcement in danger,\u201d New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherill said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Protesters have been camped outside Delaney Hall for more than a week, demonstrating over the conditions detainees are facing.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security has denounced the claims.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cREMINDER: there is NO HUNGER STRIKE at Delaney Hall. There are no subprime conditions,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cALL detainees are provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, toiletries, and opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAliens are also provided comprehensive healthcare \u2014 For many illegal aliens this is the BEST healthcare they have received their entire lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Border czar Tom Homan told Fox News he made a \u201csurprise visit\u201d to the center this weekend and \u201cate the same meal\u201d that was served to detainees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
