Newark cops ordered to ignore anti-ICE violence at Delaney Hall
Newark cops were ordered to steer clear of Delaney Hall even after violent weekend clashes rocked the detention facility, an internal police memo obtained by The Post revealed.
The June 8 memo illustrates the jurisdictional mess at the now infamous detainee facility, which has become the center of angry protests with police arresting people from around the country and chilling footage showing instigators slamming the vehicles of Delaney Hall workers.
“No officers are to handle any call for service pertaining to Delaney Hall located at 451 Doremus Ave.,” according to the Newark PD 3rd Precinct Memorandum, under the subject heading “Delaney Hall Call for Service.”
“If officers are dispatch[ed] to a call they are to immediately notified [sic] their field supervisor or the desk boss,” according to the order from 3rd Precinct Commander Capt. Maik Alexandre.
The “tenets of the memorandum” would be the subject of roll call throughout the week, underlining its seriousness, according to the document.
