Newark’s school meal contractor also feeds an ICE detention facility. Advocates want that to end. There are multiple contracts between Newark Public Schools and Driscoll Foods authorizing the district to spend up to $12 million with the vendor, which also supplies the nearby Delaney Hall ICE facility.

Trump said he was working on something “desperately needed.”

He meant the gold-encrusted ballroom for himself and his billionaire friends.

Not affordable health care, not housing, not the high cost of groceries.

96% of the funds in MAGA Inc. came from donors that gave $1 million or more.

Trump is going to flood the midterms with millions so he can avoid accountability at the ballot box and continue advancing an agenda that keeps his Big Money donors rich at the expense of working people.

Visitors to Delaney Hall Wait for Hours in an Unheated Tent to See Their Loved Ones - Documented The tent, purchased by county officials, was installed after complaints about the lack of protection against cold temperatures.

At Delaney Hall, the privately-run ICE detention facility in Newark, visitors are forced to wait for hours in life-threatening cold to see their loved ones. But those conditions, advocates say, are arbitrarily imposed.

Bicycles and Blessings: Delivery Workers Honor Our Lady of Guadalupe in Annual Procession - Documented Now in its fifth year, this caravan of deliveristas marked the feast day by pedaling to 14 immigrant businesses across Washington Heights, East Harlem, and the South Bronx.
