Rioters Dismantle the ‘First Amendment Barriers’ Set Up by New Jersey State Police

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, whose stated goal is to shut down the ICE detention facility in Newark known as Delaney Hall, did the unthinkable on Friday night and sent in the New Jersey State Police to protect public safety and "avoid escalation from ICE." State police brought in orange barriers and set up "First Amendment zones" to corral the rioters, at least temporarily. Border Hawk News reports that as soon as the state police left, the rioters dismantled the First Amendment barriers and used them to block traffic in and out of Delaney Hall.

As soon as NJ State Police abandoned Delaney Hall, militants dismantled the ‘first amendment’ barriers and used them to blockade the roadway and control traffic

Now the rioters don't have to use garbage and debris to block the roads.

🚨🚨🚨 Rioters in Newark just CAPTURED a vehicle trying to enter the Delaney Hall detention facility.

Contractors from the facility came out to defend their female colleagues and rioters used GATES to smash into the vehicle.

Julio Rosas, Townhall alumnus and author of "Fiery but Mostly Peaceful," reports that rioters were kind enough to let an ambulance through on its way to the facility.

Anti-ICE rioters put barricades in the middle of the road thinking vehicles were police, but it was EMS and an ambulance going to Delaney Hall instead.

Once the barricades were removed, the crowd put the barricades back, which added time when the ambulance left the facility. pic.twitter.com/rfy778TIYM

Looks like the police out there earlier were just dropping off barriers for the criminals to use.

Almost like they wanted to give the barriers to Antifa...

I'm not sure how this could happen. Our state police clearly set up a free-speech zone where the anarchists could protest peacefully

That is straight up kidnapping.

Enough of the lawless thugs. Make them pay hard.

We're not certain, but it looks like the governor reluctantly sent in the state police, who gifted the rioters with orange barriers under the guise of setting up "First Amendment zones," and they had them leave without making any arrests. The police might as well have dropped off pallets of bricks.
