At least 20 protesters were arrested outside Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday night after demonstrators violated a new curfew imposed around the ICE detention center following weeks of unrest, as reported by the New York Post.

The arrests came after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka instituted a 9 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew around the facility until further notice. The curfew followed a series of clashes between anti-ICE protesters and agents earlier in the week.

Local and state police closed off part of Doremus Avenue, blocking roughly a quarter-mile area around Delaney Hall in an effort to keep crowds from reaching the detention facility.

Police moved in after the 9 p.m. curfew took effect, and protesters remained in the area.

After police announced the curfew and urged people to leave, the crowd dropped to about 100 people. Officers in riot gear then advanced into the group while shouting, “Move in!”

Police fired two rounds of tear gas toward protesters, who shouted, “Give peace a chance” and “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.” The crowd continued shrinking until about 50 protesters and members of the press were contained in a tight circle.

After individuals with press passes were allowed out of the group, officers arrested roughly 20 to 25 remaining protesters. Police did not immediately confirm the exact number of arrests Sunday night.

Several arrests took place near a wall marked with the words “KILL ICE.”

Footage posted by the Department of Homeland Security showed protesters surrounded by officers in riot vests and helmets as they were taken to Essex County Sheriff’s Department buses.

Another clip showed a man seated and being dragged from behind by several officers standing in a barricade line.

“Don’t be this guy,” DHS wrote in the caption.

“If you riot, you will face the consequences. Law and order prevails,” DHS posted on X. “ZERO tolerance for rioters.”

DHS, the Newark Police Department, and the Essex County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to inquiries from The Post about the arrests.

Baraka said people who violate the curfew will receive an initial warning but may be removed and face possible legal action if they refuse to comply.

The disorder around Delaney Hall has been ongoing since at least May 22.

The detention facility became the focus of protests after top Democratic officials, including New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, raised concerns about conditions inside the facility and visitation hours.

Inmates inside the facility reportedly launched a hunger strike over the conditions.

The Trump administration has countered that the standard of living at Delaney Hall is higher than most U.S. prisons.
