新泽西州纽瓦克,5月30日(路透社)——新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔周六表示,部署在移民拘留中心周边的州警发现,州外煽动者在抗议活动中加剧了紧张局势。

谢里尔在下令州警接管纽瓦克德莱尼厅拘留设施周边安保的次日举行的新闻发布会上表示,周五晚间被捕的六人中有五人并非新泽西州居民,她还称“全国极端主义团体”已参与周六的抗议活动,进一步加剧了这座该州人口最多城市的紧张局势。

“你们不该出现在这里,”她针对那些前来制造混乱的人说道,“你们没有帮助德莱尼厅被拘留的人员,没有帮助被拘留者的家属,当然也没有保障新泽西州的安全。”

此前数日,德莱尼厅外抗议者与联邦特工多次发生冲突,州警于周五设立了“受保护抗议区域”。这座拥有1000个床位的拘留中心内的被拘留者此前宣布开展劳动和绝食抗议,以提请外界关注他们所谓的非人道待遇,并要求获释。

“这正是我们目前的核心关注点:为拘留设施内的人员争取更好的条件,”谢里尔说,“我们不能让德莱尼厅外发生的事情偏离这一目标。”

谢里尔表示,她“对绝大多数和平集会、为德莱尼厅的待遇发声的抗议者表示感谢”。

佐治亚集团(GEO.N)为美国移民海关总署运营德莱尼厅拘留中心。国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林否认了针对该设施的指控,并将州警介入称为“法治的胜利”。

但身为民主党人的谢里尔暗示联邦官员让局势进一步恶化,她称移民海关总署对抗议者使用警棍及其他行为,对于人群管控而言并不恰当。“他们加剧紧张局势的方式不利于公共安全,”她说。

这位此前呼吁关闭德莱尼厅的州长表示,她的目标是确保抗议和平进行、保障公共安全,并避免联邦特工大规模涌入。

“我们目前的努力方向是确保移民海关总署没有任何借口激化当前局势,”谢里尔在新闻发布会上说道。

在其他州,移民执法人员与抗议者的冲突偶尔会演变成暴力事件,最严重的一次发生在明尼苏达州,当时联邦人员开枪打死两人并打伤多人。

新泽西州官员表示,州警一直在划定区域供抗议者和平集会。但州警中校戴维·西罗托维奇周六称,周五晚间被命令驱散的抗议者包围了一辆执法车辆,并对执法人员发出威胁。

西罗托维奇表示,有人看到活动人士从附近的帐篷区域取出面罩、防毒面具、烟花、石块和其他投掷物。

周五的视频显示,警察手持防暴盾牌推进并发射了催泪瓦斯。西罗托维奇称,警方使用了标准战术驱散人群,公众和执法人员均无重大伤亡。

“我们昨晚没有袭击任何人,”他说。

州官员表示,只要抗议保持和平,就是被允许的。周六下午中段,数十名抗议者高呼口号,但仍留在警方设置的屏障后方。

“今天以及未来,我敦促德莱尼厅外的抗议者缓和局势,这样我们才能将注意力放在被拘留者及其家属身上,”谢里尔说。

New Jersey governor links rising tension around immigrant detention center to out-of-state troublemakers

NEWARK, New Jersey, May 30 (Reuters) – New Jersey state police who deployed near an immigrant detention center found that out-of-state agitators escalated tensions during protests, Governor Mikie Sherrill said on Saturday.

At a news conference the day after Sherrill ordered state police to assume control outside the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, she said five of six people arrested Friday night were not from New Jersey and said “national extremist groups” became involved in the protests Saturday, adding to tensions in the state’s most populous city.

“You should not be here,” she said of those who came to create chaos. “You are not helping the people detained at Delaney Hall. You’re not helping detainee families and you’re certainly not keeping New Jersey safe.”

State police on Friday set up “protected protest zones” after several days of confrontations between protesters and federal agents outside Delaney, a 1,000-bed facility whose detainees had announced a labor and hunger strike to draw attention to what they called inhumane conditions and to demand their release.

“That’s exactly where our focus needs to be right now, advocating for better conditions for those inside the facility,” Sherrill said. “We can’t let what’s happening outside Delaney Hall take us away from that mission.”

Sherrill said she was “grateful to the vast majority of protesters who have assembled peacefully and raised their voices about Delaney Hall conditions.”

The company Geo Group (GEO.N) operates Delaney for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has denied the allegations about the facility and called the involvement of state police a “win for law and order.”

But Sherrill, a Democrat, suggested federal officials had made the situation worse, with ICE using batons on protesters and taking other actions that she described as inappropriate for crowd control. “They have been increasing tensions in a way that’s not helpful to public safety,” she said.

The governor, who has called for the closure of Delaney Hall, said her goal was to ensure peaceful protests and public safety — and avoid a surge of federal agents.

“What we have been working towards now is ensuring that ICE has no pretextual reason whatsoever to exacerbate this situation,” Sherrill said at a news conference.

Clashes between immigration officers and protesters occasionally have turned violent in other states, most notably in Minnesota, where federal personnel fatally shot two people and injured others.

State police have tried to set up areas for protesters to peacefully assemble, New Jersey officials said. But protesters who were ordered to disperse Friday night surrounded a law enforcement vehicle and made threats toward personnel, state police Lieutenant Colonel David Sierotowicz said on Saturday.

Some activists were seen retrieving face coverings, gas masks, fireworks, rocks and other projectiles from a nearby tent area, Sierotowicz said.

Video from Friday showed police advancing with riot shields and firing tear gas. Sierotowicz said police used standard tactics to move the crowd back, with no significant injuries to the public or law enforcement.

“We were not striking anybody last night,” he said.

Protests are fine as long as they remain peaceful, state officials said. At mid-afternoon on Saturday, dozens of protesters were chanting slogans but remaining behind the barriers that police had set up.

“Today and going forward, I urge those protesting outside of Delaney Hall to bring the temperature down, so we can focus on the detainees and their families,” Sherrill said.
