U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced today the imminent reopening of the Delaney Hall Facility in Newark, New Jersey, after reaching an agreement with the facility’s owner to reestablish the federal immigration processing and detention centre at the 1,000-bed facility.
The facility will expand ICE’s detention capacity in the Northeast, enhancing the agency’s ability to manage the region’s growing enforcement and removal operations.
“This detention centre is the first to open under the new administration,” said acting ICE Director Caleb Vitello.
Vitello added, “The location near an international airport streamlines logistics and helps facilitate the timely processing of individuals in our custody as we pursue President Trump’s mandate to arrest, detain and remove illegal aliens from our communities.”
