Truck driver goes off on Delaney Hall anti-ICE protesters after they block him from doing his job — as Antifa thugs battle agents
Dramatic video shows a garbage truck driver going off on anti-ICE protesters outside Newark’s Delaney Hall immigration center after they blocked him from carrying out his work — as Antifa thugs battled agents on yet another night of chaos.
“If I hit one of y’all, I go to jail,” the infuriated driver yelled at the demonstrators Wednesday night in the video from Freedom News.
“What’s wrong with ya all?”
The truck driver is seen going off on anti-ICE protesters while he’s trying to do his job outside of Delaney Hall.
The driver for Elizabeth-based Regional Industries pleaded with protesters — who were demonstrating against conditions in the New Jersey detention facility — to let him go on his way.
“Come on man,” the driver shouted before getting back into his truck.
Many of the demonstrators were wearing masks and goggles to protect them for pepper spray used by ICE agents.
In the end, he appeared to prevail — he got into his truck and was able to drive away.

Chaotic scenes unfolded outside Delaney Hall — with immigration agents hitting unruly demonstrators with batons.
Thugs chillingly chanted “Grab your guns and kill yourself,” and “Every cop every fed shoot yourself in the head” at the immigration agents, who were undeterred.
Demonstrators used bright orange traffic cones to battle against immigration agents who were pushing them back, desperately trying to clear the road.
One officer was seen swinging his baton, trying to enforce the order. Protesters had built barricades using cement blocks as another means of defense.
Detainees inside waved out of windows while the commotion happened outside.
Protesters remain outside the facility Thursday morning and three people have been arrested, WABC reported.
They say they will remain camped outside the center until all detainees are released.
The anti-ICE protesters started gathering outside the center — many of them wearing keffiyeh scarves and waving Antifa flags — during the Memorial Day weekend when hundreds of ICE detainees inside reportedly went on a hunger and labor strike, to protest conditions inside the 1,000-bed facility.
Around 300 detainees have reportedly been on hunger strike since Friday.
However, Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin said there is no ongoing hunger strike at Delaney Hall and that there are “no subprime conditions.” He criticized “New Jersey sanctuary politicians” who he said demanded access to the facility for chasing “fundraising clicks.”
“Dozens of New Jersey sanctuary politicians chose to spend their Memorial Day weekend smearing ICE law enforcement,” Mullin wrote in a fiery post on X Monday.
“They should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these murderers, pedophiles, rapists and drug traffickers from their state.”
Homeland Security rubbished hunger strike claims again on Tuesday — emphasizing detainees are being “provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, toiletries, and opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers.”
“Aliens are also provided comprehensive healthcare, including medical, dental, and mental health services as available, and access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care,” the agency said.
“For many illegal aliens this is the BEST healthcare they have received their entire lives.”
DHS’ claims have been heavily disputed by Democratic critics, including Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).
“The food is very sparse. They get up and have breakfast at 4 in the morning, lunch at maybe 12, dinner at 4, and very small portions, so it’s impossible, and very often, there are maggots in the food,” Nadler, who visited the facility Wednesday, said.
Nadler claimed one female detainee with a lump on her breast has had to wait one month for a mammogram, PIX11 reported.
Deploring the conditions, he said a male inmate with colon cancer is not receiving treatment.
Booker has claimed female inmates told him they are receiving inadequate medical care.
“The stories I’ve gotten, especially from women inmates, about the access to medical attention, seemed unsatisfactory, if not downright dangerous to their conditions,” he said.
