Homan Rebuts Delaney Hall Abuse Claims After Surprise Lunch Visit at 1 New Jersey ICE Facility

Summary
Tom Homan said an unannounced Saturday tour of Newark's Delaney Hall found detainees getting three meals, medical access, recreation space and orderly housing, contradicting Democrats' claims of abusive conditions.
One lunch he shared with detainees included spaghetti with meat sauce, vegetables, rolls and dessert; Homan also said a reported hunger strike never took hold after one detainee failed to rally others.
The dispute follows an open letter from detainees alleging inhumane treatment, inadequate food and denied medical care, with some saying they felt "kidnapped" and psychologically tortured.
DHS has rejected those accusations as well, releasing menus showing three daily meals such as chicken fajitas and Salisbury steak as Delaney Hall remains a flashpoint in the broader fight over ICE detention.
