Andy Kim (D-N.J.) on Monday was pepper-sprayed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers while demonstrators gathered outside an immigration detention facility in Newark, N.J. Kim, later Monday, said he saw “chaos inside and outside” of Delaney Hall, the detention center where around 300 migrants are holding a hunger and work strike against the center’s conditions. “Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help,” he wrote on the social platform X. “Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire.”

In a Sunday interview on “Scott MacFarlane Reports,” Deluzio was asked what he’s been hearing from Trump officials about the war. “I think the military has been put in this position – and they are doing tactically what they’re being asked to do. The Trump administration, though, the strategic part of this? They’re floundering,” he said.
