Andy Kim Defies DHS After Pepper-Ball Hit at Newark ICE Facility

10 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 28

Andy Kim said he would "do it all over again" after being struck by pepper-ball spray outside Newark’s Delaney Hall, rejecting DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s claim that his appearance was political theater.
Kim said the protest was driven by alleged inhumane treatment and a reported hunger strike at the detention center, while DHS denied those claims and said detainees receive medical care, meals and housing.
Mullin accused New Jersey Democrats and protesters of obstructing ICE operations by blocking access to the facility, arguing Delaney Hall holds migrants with serious criminal histories and faulting Newark officials for not controlling the scene.
The clash has widened politically, with Chuck Schumer casting Kim’s treatment as evidence of ICE abuse while New Jersey Republicans mocked Democrats for inserting themselves into a volatile protest that has turned more confrontational at night.
