Anti-ICE protester hit by car while waving upside-down US flag outside Delaney Hall

Wild video shows a protester being hit by a car outside Delaney Hall as dozens of agitators descended on the ICE facility calling for dads to be released on Father’s Day.

Footage from Sunday shows the woman waving an upside-down American flag — a symbol of dissent — while blocking the Newark facility.

A red Dodge Challenger then drives in, hitting the dancing protester and continuing on its way as she rolls off to shouts from others.

The protester had come all the way from Minnesota and was not seriously injured, according to Visible Brigade, a New Jersey-based activist group that told Pix 11 she “is not yet believed to have sought medical care.”

The group claimed that the sports car was driven by an employee of the GEO Group, the private company that operates the 1,000-bed facility, but that has not been confirmed.

Soon after, ICE agents sprayed the demonstrators with pepper spray, according to the protesters.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not immediately respond to requests for additional information.

The wild video came as dozens of protesters descended on Delaney Hall on Sunday for a Father’s Day vigil and called for dads being held in the facility to be released.

Protesters held up signs that read “Free the dads, close the camps” and hung neck ties on a fence while others confronted federal officers at the gates.

The facility has for weeks been the site of protests and riots after hundreds of inmates, most of whom are migrants, went on a hunger strike over what they claimed were inhumane conditions inside — including rotting food, packed rooms with not air conditioning and having their immigration cases ignored.

Dozens of protesters have been arrested in the clashes.

Federal officials have denied allegations and downplayed the extent of the strike.

DHS officials told NJ.com in a statement that ICE “has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens.”

Earlier this month, 12 protesters were arrested for allegedly assaulting federal officers outside of Delaney Hall, with several of those taken into custody hailing from out of state,  according to information from the Newark Police Department and arrest sheets reviewed by The Post. 

At least two of them have ties to one of the dark money groups clamoring to “shut down Delaney Hall” and “abolish ICE” since the unrest began, the Post previously reported.
