Delaney Hall chaos stems from local Dems refusal in standing up to radical Antifa rioters

Local and state police finally quashed the riots outside Delaney Hall last weekend, but local and state politicians are still fuzzing the truth about what’s going on inside and outside the ICE detention center.It took a Post exposé to force Gov.

Mikie Sherrill and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s hands and stop holding back local law enforcement, as they perversely insisted on the the righteousness of the “protesters,” insisting ICE is a lawless Gestapo and immigration detention is “barbarism,” as Baraka says.On Friday, Sherrill tried to simply declare a “peaceful protest zone”; by Saturday, she was admitting the seriousness of the violence, noting that “people coming from out of state to create chaos” were a major problem.Yet it was obvious long before that “chaos” is the goal of a far-flung network of well-funded anarchists.The operation in Newark was always part of a national rolling revolution that seeks to demonize ICE, President Donald Trump, immigration enforcement and ultimately the idea of borders and American sovereignty.Nick Sortor’s video inside the protesters’ well-equipped HQ exposed Newark actions’ professional nature: tens of thousands of dollars in donated military-grade goggles, masks and anti-chemical agent eye wipes available, with hot food delivered hourly.“Protesters” arrived from around the country to participate in the latest zit-blossom of Antifa infection.Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-B’klyn) was among the establishment Democrats who toured Delaney, endorsed the (doubtless coached) complaints of the detainees and demanded the center “be shut down immediately.”It’s a pincer operation at work, with Antifa pushing from behind and Democratic leaders pulling up front.
