Newark's Mayor Reports Possible Uprising And Escape At NJ Immigration Detention Center

Protesters outside a New Jersey federal immigration detention center locked arms and pushed against barricades as vehicles passed through gates, inmates inside relayed word that meals had been delayed, and Newark's mayor cited reports of a possible uprising and escape as disorder broke out at the facility. Much is still unclear about what unfolded at the Delaney Hall facility in Newark, where Immigrations and Customs Enforcement opened a 1,000-bed facility this year as part of President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. Photos and video from outside the facility Thursday show protesters pushing against the gates amid word that detainees inside were upset about delayed meals. Amy Torres, executive director of New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, said some officers sprayed pepper spray and tackled and dragged protesters away from the facility. She said some protesters had minor injuries, but no one was hit by the vehicles. An attorney for someone detained at the facility told told NJ.com that people inside became violent after meals were delayed. “It’s about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive and it turned violent,” attorney Mustafa Cetin said. “Based on what he told me it was an outer wall, not very strong, and they were able to push it down.” Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat who's been critical of Trump's immigration crackdown, early Friday called for an end to this “chaos and not allow this operation to continue unchecked.” “We are concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees,” he said. It's unclear whether there have been any escapes. Messages seeking comment were left with ICE, the Department of Homeland Security and local police. Delaney Hall has been the cite of clashes this year between Democratic officials who say the facility needs more oversight and the administration and those who run the facility. Baraka was arrested May 9, handcuffed and charged with trespassing. The charge was later dropped and Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver was later charged with assaulting federal officers stemming from a skirmish that happened outside the facility. She has denied the charges said she was doing her job as a lawmaker conducting oversight.

Iran's Nuclear Facilities And Missile Factories Hit, Top Military Commanders Killed In Israeli Strikes

Israel attacked Iran's capital early Friday in strikes that targeted the country's nuclear program and killed at least two top military officers, raising the potential for an all-out war between the two bitter Middle East adversaries. It appeared to be the most significant attack Iran has faced since its 1980s war with Iraq. The strikes came amid simmering tensions over Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program and appeared certain to trigger a reprisal, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning that “severe punishment” would be directed at Israel. Hours later, Israel's military said it had begun intercepting Iranian drones launched in retaliation. An Israeli official said the interceptions were taking place outside of Israeli territory, but did not elaborate. The official spoke on condition of anonymity pending a formal announcement. Iraq said more than 100 Iranian drones had crossed its airspace, and a short time later neighboring Jordan said its air force and defense systems had intercepted several missiles and drones that had entered its airspace for fear they would fall in its territory. Israel's attack on Iran hit several sites, including the country's main nuclear enrichment facility, where black smoke could be seen rising into the air. Later in the morning, it said it had also destroyed dozens of radar installations and surface-to-air missile launchers in western Iran. The leader of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, Gen. Hossein Salami, was confirmed dead, Iranian state television reported, a development that is a significant blow to Tehran's governing theocracy and an immediate escalation of its long-simmering conflict with Israel. The chief of staff of Iranian armed forces, Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, was also confirmed dead by Iranian state television. Other top military officials and scientists were believed to have been killed. In Washington, the Trump administration, which had cautioned Israel against an attack during continued negotiations over Iran's nuclear enrichment program, said that it had not been involved and warned against any retaliation targeting U.S. interests or personnel. Still, it seemed likely the U.S. suspected an attack could be in the offing, with Washington on Wednesday pulling some American diplomats from Iraq’s capital and offering voluntary evacuations for the families of U.S. troops in the wider Middle East.

Israel Says Strikes Necessary To Prevent Iran From Building Atomic Weapons

Israel Strikes Iran In Widespread Operation Against Nuclear Facilities

Israel said it launched airstrikes against Iran on Friday, hitting over 100 targets including nuclear facilities and missile factories - and killing top military commanders in Iran. The operation sparked a fresh escalation in tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals and also came ahead of Washington's nuclear talks with Iran, scheduled for Sunday. State TV in Iran showed video of burning buildings in Tehran early Friday, after the strikes were reported. As day broke, injured Iranians sat by the curbside and firefighters tended to smoldering buildings. Israel will face 'severe' punishment for the attack - that's according to a statement from Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei, read out over state TV. State media said the strikes hit the headquarters of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps and killed top commander Hossein Salami. And according to Iran, several nuclear scientists, were also killed in the strikes. An Israeli military official said Israel struck "dozens" of nuclear and military targets including the facility at Natanz in central Iran - the heart of the country's enrichment program. In a recorded statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the extensive strikes were needed to stop an existential threat to Israel's survival. "In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs. Nine. In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival," said Netanyahu. Israel declared a state of emergency Friday, as authorities anticipate retaliatory attacks from Iran. People in Tel Aviv were seen stocking up on essentials, and Israel's air defense has been put on high alert for incoming missiles and drones. Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport has been closed until further notice. A flight tracking website showed airlines clearing out of the airspace over Israel, Iran, Iraq and Jordan on Friday after Israel's airstrikes. While the United States has tried to distance itself from Israel's military operation, an Israeli official told public broadcaster Kan that Israel had coordinated with Washington on Iran. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement that the U.S. was not involved in the strikes, and Israel had acted unilaterally for self-defense - and he urged Iran not to target U.S. interests or personnel.

Judge To Hear Arguments About Releasing Kilmar Abrego Garcia

A Tennessee judge is scheduled to hear arguments about whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia can be released from jail pending the outcome of a federal trial on human smuggling charges. Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador who had been living legally in the United States before he was wrongfully deported in March. His case quickly became a rallying point for opposition to President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Prosecutors in Tennessee argue in court filings that he should remain in jail because he is a flight risk and a danger to the community. Abrego Garcia's attorneys disagree. They say due process and basic fairness require allowing him to go free unless he is proven guilty.
