At least 3 anti-ICE agitators detained at Newark’s Delaney Hall

At least three people were detained Thursday night during a raucous demonstration at Delaney Hall detention center in New Jersey — where foul-mouthed agitators again urged federal agents to “shoot yourself in the head.”

Video shows a trio of anti-ICE demonstrators being hauled away as one obnoxious protester berates agents through a megaphone: “You look like a f–king clown, s–t don’t even line up. Fix your s–t, bitch.”

“What the f–k are you guys doing in there?!” another yelled, while others told the agents, “Take your gun and shoot yourself” and “Every cop, every fed, shoot yourself in the head.”

The Department of Homeland Security and ICE did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for information on the arrests.

Activists have claimed ICE detainees are on a hunger strike in protest of deplorable living conditions at the federal center – but DHS leaders have pushed back on those allegations.

Protesters, many covered in keffiyeh scarves, have tried to block vehicles and personnel from getting in and out of the facility, leading to violent scuffles with law enforcement.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherill — who was denied access to the building on Memorial Day as protests raged outside  — traded barbs with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin after she accused him of not allowing state health inspectors inside.

“If conditions are really as good as you’re claiming, then let my health inspectors do their jobs,” the Democratic governor wrote on X. 

But Mullin said state inspectors had been there earlier Thursday.

“All detainees are provided with proper meals, quality water, blankets, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers,” he shot back at Sherrill.
