On the 14th day of a hunger strike by ICE detainees protesting conditions inside Delaney Hall, demonstrators gathered outside the facility in Newark. Tensions continued throughout the evening between protesters, ICE agents, and the GEO Group, the private contractor that operates the facility.

MEMBER IN MINNESOTA
JANUARY 24, 2026
I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota.
Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release.
At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

Businesses on Nicollet—where at least a thousand people are rallying in protest against ICE after they murdered Alex Pretti down the block—have opened their doors to the community to use the bathroom and warm up. At The Copper Hen, trays of food are being set out for people to make their own tacos.

ICE detained Yonquenide at 26 Federal Plaza as he held his sleeping son. He was transported to a detention center in Louisiana, where he was told he’d stay in detention until 2029 unless he self-deported. Now he’s deporting to Venezuela, while Franyelis and their children face the fallout alone.
