Tom Homan said Newark's Delaney Hall detention center "isn't going anywhere," rejecting calls from Gov. Mikie Sherrill, Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats to shut it down.
The clash intensified after detainees alleged in an open letter that they faced inhumane conditions, inadequate food and denied medical care, claims the Department of Homeland Security has disputed.
Homan said he personally inspected the facility twice, including a surprise weekend visit, and found detainees were being legally held and served the same meals he ate there.
Delaney Hall has become a flashpoint in New Jersey's immigration fight, with protests outside the facility escalating into confrontations with law enforcement as pressure grows over private detention centers.
