Tensions rose both in and outside Delaney Hall over the weekend, as a hunger and labor strike among inmates carried on for a fourth day.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Sherrill\u2019s visit to Delaney Hall is nothing more than a political stunt on Memorial Day when visitation is currently suspended due to riots outside the facility,\u201d a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, approximately 125 agitators surrounded Delaney Hall Detention Facility, many carrying anti-ICE signs and Antifa flags. They formed a human chain around entrances to the facility and set up barricades, blocking all entries and exits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherrill was denied access to the detention center Monday after several of her Garden State Democratic colleagues, including Sen. Andy Kim and Rep. Rob Menendez, toured the facility over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Video circulating on social media shows Sherrill standing outside a locked gate topped with razor wire as a large group of protesters chant, \u201cLet Sherrill in!\u201d<\/p>\n

Footage captured outside the facility shows several demonstrators defiantly seated side by side in an attempt to block the detention center\u2019s main roadway, and a larger group squaring off with agents and chanting, \u201cNo more ICE!\u201d<\/p>\n
