Fox News Says 100 Groups Used Signal to Coordinate Newark Anti-ICE Protests

Fox News Digital said an 11:30 a.m. June 3 call to return to Delaney Hall spread through Signal chats that mobilized hundreds of anti-ICE protesters in Newark with transport, medic and supply planning.
Chat messages reviewed by Fox showed users seeking carpools, on-the-ground updates and gear including respirators, goggles, pepper-spray wipes and knee pads before demonstrators gathered outside the ICE detention center that night.
Fox said the network behind the protests includes about 100 groups with roughly $850 million in combined annual revenue, including nonprofits and advocacy organizations that it argues built the mobilization over years.
The report tied the latest unrest to a broader campaign that began after Delaney Hall's 2025 reopening, expanded through coalitions such as Eyes on ICE NJ and ICE Out of NJ, and has drawn scrutiny from federal lawmakers over nonprofit activity.
