Delaney
On Our Watch
“Cori Herbig, 49, lives in Parsippany and works in government affairs. She periodically joined the protests outside Delaney Hall during the weekend and was among a group of demonstrators who were the target of pepper balls and spray on Monday during a clash with the agents. Senator Kim, who said that he had tried to de-escalate the standoff, was among those affected.
The crowd of protesters has ranged from a few dozen to more than 100, with dozens of federal agents responding.
“I was at the Memorial Day parade in my hometown watching my son march in the marching band, and then I was getting tear-gassed,” Ms. Herbig said. “If they’re doing that to us outside, I can only imagine what’s happening inside where no one is looking.”“Why are we holding our neighbors and our community members in this privately run detention center that can’t do anything right?” Rep. Rob Menendez said. “In the last 24 hours, they have tried to shift the focus into what is happening out here, because they want to shift the attention away from all the conditions inside.”

Overwhelming midterm organizing must be our priority now. Please find a local Indivisible group or start one.
You’ve nailed it, Steve!
Gut wrenching! I shudder to think what’s happening behind closed doors—people being denied critical medical care and basic human decency. Terrible to treat the Governor and Senator with such disrespect, too.
More Horridity (it's a word now:) My hope is that, like J6, investigators can piece together enough info on who these monsters are-although Miller must be first-bring back the "rack"
to get the names?
