  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

New Jersey's health commissioner on June 2 sued the operators of a controversial federal immigrant detention center, saying they barred health inspectors from critical areas of the facility.

State Health Commissioner Raynard Washington said that, when his team tried to inspect Newark's Delaney Hall in late May, they were only allowed access to the privately run U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility's food services area, according to the 18-page lawsuit filed in state Superior Court.

Reports of a labor and hunger strike in late May over poor conditions at Delaney Hall, which has capacity to house over 1,000 people, drew large protests outside the facility that resulted in clashes with police in recent days.

Washington said he sent in the team after seeing complaints raised about crowding, poor ventilation, lack of medical care, unsanitary bathrooms and other conditions at Delaney Hall.

The state's lawsuit, filed by the state attorney general's office, said inspectors on May 28 were not allowed to observe conditions in the medical unit, bathrooms, showers, or sleeping areas, or the facility's heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system.

No Crocs or baby onesies - the draconian Delaney Hall dress code ICE uses to deem toddlers ‘too provocative’​

Delaney Hall has rejected her visits time and time again over supposed dress code violations. More than 10 times, Soto said, she has been told that either she or her children could not visit because of what they were wearing.


In one such visit, a guard nearly rejected them because of Soto’s 11-month-old’s onesie, she said. On another occasion, she told the Guardian, Delaney Hall rejected them because Gabriela’s four-year-old daughter was in leggings. When Gabriela would ask why their clothes weren’t allowed, guards said they were too “provocative”, she said.

“How is that provocative if she’s only four years old?” said Gabriela, referring to her daughter.

Since the facility opened last May, guards have rejected families, some traveling from faraway states like Texas, over leggings, Crocs, heels, dresses, shorts and more. Closely resembling prison dress codes, the regulations for visitors ban any form-fitting, revealing clothing, from open-toed shoes and leggings to pants with holes – and even wearing a T-shirt without a bra. “Gang colors”, which are not defined, are also prohibited.

The dress code states that it applies only to visitors aged 12 and older. However, in the past year, Delaney Hall has often rejected much younger kids, such as Gabriela’s toddler. According to testimony from visitors and activists, the facility has rejected preschool or elementary-aged girls over frocks and leggings.

Well, we know they were scraping the barrel in their attempts to attract law enforcement types. Fashion police was the best they could get.

ICE Declares State and Local Laws "Shall Not Apply" to Detention Facilities​

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has published draft contract language explicitly stipulating that state and local laws "shall not apply" to its private detention network.

Legal Conflict and Court Ruling

The procurement documents were released on July 10, coming just one day after a federal ruling directed private operator GEO Group to permit Washington state health inspectors inside its Tacoma facility.

Addressing a new contract signed between ICE and GEO Group during ongoing litigation, U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle ruled that contractual language cannot override state legislation.

“Preemption requires Congressional intent, not a contract,” Settle responded, “and GEO's new contract cannot preempt state law, even if it purports to.”
