‘Hey, Mikie, WTF?’: New Jersey governor facing outrage over attacks on Delaney Hall protesters

Protesters say Mikie Sherrill has failed to address the dire hunger and labor strike at the immigration detention center

A few dozen protesters rallied outside the New Jersey statehouse in Trenton on Monday afternoon. They carried handmade signs with messages like U made it worse" and Gov Sherrill, stop lying about Delaney Hall". One led a collective chant that summed up the rally's mood: Hey, Mikie, WTF?"

The target of their ire: the governor, Mikie Sherrill. Protesters say the newly elected Democratic governor has failed to adequately address the dire situation at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark, where at least 300 detainees are on a hunger and labor strike.
