- 警方扩大拘留中心周边管制区域
- 家属探视被拘留者恢复
- 警方称周六逮捕三人,此前周五已逮捕六人
- 民主党人士呼吁关闭德莱尼拘留中心,指其运营条件恶劣
华盛顿5月31日路透电 – 在新泽西州一座移民拘留中心外连续两晚发生抗议者被捕事件后,执法官员扩大了禁止抗议者进入的区域,同时该拘留中心开始恢复家属探视。
新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔周日表示,在警方护送下,家属将可前往位于纽瓦克的德莱尼拘留中心探视亲属。这一宣布是在纽瓦克市长拉什·巴拉卡对该拘留中心周边半英里区域实施夜间宵禁数小时后作出的。

作为民主党人的谢里尔于周五下令州警接管该拘留中心周边区域,此前数日抗议者与联邦移民海关执法局(ICE)探员之间对峙紧张升级。州总检察长詹妮弗·达文波特在周日的新闻发布会上表示,出于安全考虑,州警目前管控的“区域范围已超出德莱尼拘留中心外墙之外”。
此次对峙对谢里尔政府构成挑战,该政府担忧此举会给联邦政府以更大规模向新泽西州部署联邦探员的借口。自2025年1月再度上台以来,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾以反对移民执法的抗议活动为理由,向美国多个城市派遣联邦执法人员。
“我们绝不希望ICE出现在我们的街道上,”谢里尔周日对记者表示。
她还重申了此前的呼吁,要求示威者“保持冷静”,和平进行抗议。州警方表示,在周五拘留六名抗议者之后,周六晚间的示威活动中又逮捕了三人。
负责监督美国移民执法及德莱尼拘留中心的联邦机构国土安全部发言人周日在一份声明中表示,相关运营将“继续如常进行”。
德莱尼拘留中心是一座拥有1000个床位的设施,由私营企业Geo集团(GEO.N)代表ICE运营。包括移民维权人士、谢里尔及其他民主党政客在内的批评人士呼吁关闭该设施,称其管理不善,运营条件不人道。
“这一情况令人无法接受,”众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯周日上午在与新泽西州三名国会议员代表团访问该拘留中心后发表声明称,“德莱尼拘留中心必须立即关闭。”
谢里尔周六表示,外州煽动者激化了拘留中心外抗议活动的紧张局势,并补充称大多数抗议者“希望和平参与示威”。
新泽西州民主党参议员安迪·金将此次针对ICE抗议活动的紧张程度描述为前所未有的。
“在我担任公职的整个生涯中,我从未见过我的州处于如此不稳定的状态,”金周日在接受美国有线电视新闻网“国情咨文”节目采访时表示。
负责全国机场安全的国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林周四威胁称,将削减新泽西州纽瓦克自由国际机场的国际旅客办理流程,理由是该州当地执法部门未协助联邦移民官员。该机场是通往纽约市的主要门户。
金表示,关闭机场的想法“毫无意义”。“这无异于搬起石头砸自己的脚,”他在谈及限制国际旅行时表示。

- Police say they arrested three on Saturday, following six arrests on Friday
- Democrats call for Delaney Hall’s closure over conditions
WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) – After two nights with arrests of activists outside a New Jersey immigrant detention center, law enforcement officials have expanded the area off-limits to protesters even as the facility started allowing detainee visits to resume.
Families escorted by police will be able to visit their relatives at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, Governor Mikie Sherrill said on Sunday. That announcement came several hours after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka imposed a nightly curfew in the half-mile area surrounding the facility.

Sherrill, a Democrat, ordered state police on Friday to take control of the area around the facility after days of tense confrontations between protesters and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. State police have now secured a “broader area than just outside Delaney Hall” for safety reasons, state Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said at a Sunday news conference.
The clashes pose a challenge for Sherrill’s administration, which is wary of giving the federal government grounds to justify deploying federal agents to New Jersey on a larger scale. Since returning to power in January 2025, President Donald Trump has cited protests against immigration enforcement as a rationale for sending federal law enforcement into U.S. cities.
ICE “is not a law enforcement agency we want on our streets in any way,” Sherrill told reporters on Sunday.
She also repeated her previous call for demonstrators to “bring the temperature down” by remaining peaceful. State police said they arrested three people on Saturday night during demonstrations, after detaining six protesters on Friday.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, the federal agency that oversees U.S. immigration enforcement and Delaney Hall, said in a statement on Sunday that operations will “continue as normal.”
Delaney Hall is a 1,000-bed facility operated by the private company Geo Group
(GEO.N) on behalf of ICE. Critics, including immigrant advocates, Sherrill and other Democratic politicians, have called for closing the facility, which they have described as a poorly run site with inhumane conditions.
“The situation is unacceptable,” said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, in a statement on Sunday morning after visiting the facility with three members of New Jersey’s congressional delegation. “Delaney Hall must be shut down immediately.”
Sherrill on Saturday said out-of-state agitators inflamed tensions at protests outside the detention center, adding the majority of protesters “want to be there peacefully.”
Senator Andy Kim, a New Jersey Democrat, described the level of tension related to the ICE protests as unprecedented.
“I’ve not seen my state with this level of precariousness through my entire time in elected office,” Kim told CNN’s “State of the Union” program on Sunday.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who oversees security at the nation’s airports, on Thursday threatened to curtail processing of international travelers at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport because local law enforcement in the state was not assisting federal immigration officials. The airport is a major gateway to New York City.
Closing the airport is an idea that “makes no sense,” Kim said. “That would be just shooting ourselves in the foot,” he said, in reference to restricting international travel.
