May 30 (UPI) -- Dueling groups of protesters gathered at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New Jersey on Saturday morning over the agency's treatment of people detained under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
A group of detainees at the Delaney Hall facility have been on a hunger and labor strike since May 22 over inhumane conditions there.
Protests in support of the striking detainees have continued since last Friday, but after protestors and ICE officials got into scuffles in recent days protesters in support of the administration's deportation efforts gathered at the facility as well, The Guardian and NBC News reported.
The protests were met with state police with riot shields blocking the entrance, as well as barricades that were set up to separate and protect protesters, who yelled at each other from the two protest zones.
