On June 3, at 11:30 a.m., a signal on social media urged protesters to gather at Delaney Hall, an ICE facility in Newark, N.J. This location has become a focal point for immigration protests. An Instagram post stated, “CURFEW IS OVER. BACK TO DELANEY,” and was circulated by groups opposing Israel, advocating Marxism, and supporting Democratic causes. These included the Palestine Solidarity Working Group, Al-Awda, Indivisible, and others.
Within minutes, encrypted messages on Signal rallied hundreds of anti-ICE activists with code names like “framed.unrest” and “Wicked Something.” They organized logistics for transportation and supplies. A Fox News Digital investigation reveals these protests are not spontaneous but are backed by organized, well-funded groups aiming to challenge immigration policies.
“We should be very concerned about the Delaney Hall 100,” said Chuck Flint, a nonprofit expert.
About 100 groups, including prominent organizations like the ACLU and Indivisible, are involved in these protests. Together, they report annual revenues around $850 million. A significant portion of these groups are registered as nonprofits, allowing them to receive tax-deductible donations. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, along with House committees, are probing potential misuse of nonprofit laws.
The “Delaney Hall 100” has strategic communications guidelines, instructing activists to depict the facility as a “concentration camp” and detainees as “captives.” Protests in Newark are organized similarly to past events in Minneapolis, employing tactics like those of insurgencies.
Groups have set up supply tents near Delaney Hall, stocked with essentials like respirators and goggles. Influencer Hasan Piker visited and described the riot gear as “mutual aid.” Digital investigations by figures like @Astrarce delve into these groups to expose their operations.
The protests stem from wider activism, including a hunger strike by detainees and support from lawmakers. Many groups involved have long established networks. Key contributors to these coalitions are Democratic donors like Open Society Foundations.
Elected officials in New Jersey, such as Sen. Cory Booker and Gov. Mikie Sherrill, are actively participating in the debate. Despite their involvement, protesters are also targeting these politicians. The “Delaney Hall 100” remains elusive, with many operations conducted covertly.
