1:36Now PlayingNew Jersey's attorney general says a group of individuals was arrested Sunday night for breaking a curfew near an ICE detention facility that has seen days of unrest.
Demonstrators clashed with police this past weekend outside the privately run Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark.
Federal and state officers used riot shields and tear gas to disperse the crowds.
The protests were sparked by reports of poor conditions inside the 1,000 bed facility, including concerns about food quality.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Democratic lawmakers have called for Delaney Hall's closure over the reported conditions.
In response, Department of Homeland Security posted on social media: "Everyone being held inside Delaney Hall broke the law. This is a detention center. We do not provide luxury accommodations."
