New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill accused ICE on Wednesday of denying her access to Delaney Hall, a Newark immigration detention facility that has become the focus of lawsuits, protests and allegations of unsafe, as scrutiny intensifies over allegations of unsafe conditions inside the center.
«ICE is denying me entry to Delaney Hall — raising serious questions about what is happening behind its walls,» Sherrill wrote on X.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Sherrill’s office to clarify whether she attempted to access the facility Wednesday or was referring to an ongoing dispute over access.
The Democratic governor previously attempted to visit the detention center over Memorial Day weekend but was denied entry, according to local reports.

Sherrill said she recently met with family members of individuals being held at the facility and heard allegations about unsafe conditions.
«Last night in Jersey City, I met with families whose loved ones are being detained there,» Sherrill wrote. «What I heard only deepened my concerns.»
«Families shared heartbreaking reports of unsafe, inhumane, and unconstitutional conditions — detainees being denied access to proper medical care and medication, violence and intimidation, threats of losing phone and video access, visitation privileges being taken away, and deeply troubling accounts of detainees being pressured to sign deportation papers with no translation,» she continued.

Sherrill said she would continue pushing for accountability and improved conditions at the facility while reiterating her support for ultimately shutting it down.
The governor’s comments came after New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport announced this week that the state had filed suit against GEO Group Inc., the private company contracted by the Department of Homeland Security to operate the detention center.
The lawsuit seeks access for the New Jersey Department of Health to inspect the facility after state and local officials, including Sherrill, were allegedly denied entry. The filing also references reports that some detainees have launched a hunger strike over conditions inside the center.

The Department of Homeland Security dismissed the lawsuit as «frivolous.»
A DHS spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital that detainees are provided three meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap and other basic necessities.
Sherrill has also faced criticism from Newark officials, activists and law-enforcement supporters over her response to demonstrations outside the facility.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said Tuesday he disagreed with tactics used by the New Jersey State Police after they were deployed to secure the area around Delaney Hall, describing the agency as «a sword.»
On Saturday, Sherrill defended the deployment, saying the New Jersey State Police Public Safety Response Team was sent to the area because it was «absolutely necessary to protect public safety and avoid escalation.»

Hillary Clinton still fuming over Electoral College, calls it an ‘abomination’ in new Netflix series
Hillary Clinton slams Biden’s 2024 re-election bid as ‘terrible mistake’
Hillary Clinton labels former President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election bid a ‘terrible mistake’ in a recent interview, stating he should have passed the torch. ‘Fox & Friends’ hosts discuss the irony and timing of her criticism, contrasting it with her earlier endorsement. They also critique the Democratic Party’s internal alignment and lack of diverse perspectives on this significant political decision, highlighting perceived flaws in party strategy.

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is still railing against the Electoral College, which cost her the presidency in 2016, calling it an «abomination» in a trailer for the new Netflix docuseries titled «The American Experiment.»
In a trailer for the upcoming series, which is executive-produced by Tom Hanks, Clinton remarks, «Well, I personally think the Electoral College is an abomination. For obvious reasons.»
Set to drop today, the new five-part docuseries marks 250 years of U.S. independence by examining «how American democracy has been built, challenged, and reimagined» over the course of its centuries-long history, according to Netflix’s Tudum. In addition to Clinton, the series will feature interviews with dozens of politicians and historians, including former Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence and Al Gore, as well as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The push for abolishing the Electoral College, which was instituted in 1787, has gained increased support in some corners of the left, especially after Clinton’s 2016 loss to President Donald Trump. Though Clinton won the national popular vote, Trump secured several key swing states that gave him the Electoral College edge, sending him to the White House.
WHAT IS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE? HOW DOES IT WORK?

After her loss, Clinton lambasted the system, calling it «the god-forsaken Electoral College» in her 2017 memoir «What Happened.» In an interview with CNN host Anderson Cooper, Clinton reaffirmed her call to abolish the Electoral College, referring to it as «an anachronism that was designed for another time» that «no longer works.»
«We’ve moved toward one person, one vote, that’s how we select winners,» she continued, adding, «I think it needs to be eliminated, I’d like to see us move beyond it.»
Months before Trump’s 2024 victory over Harris, Clinton again raised concerns about the Electoral College, saying in an interview with The 19th, «We are the underdog, that just kind of goes with the territory when we have the Electoral College staring at you.»
Trump defeated Harris both in the Electoral College and in the popular vote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Clinton for additional comment.

In the trailer for the new docuseries, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., states that «the founders themselves were not in love with the Electoral College» and «it was defective from the beginning.»
«We have a problem that a minority of the population, because of the structure of the Electoral College — in some cases, over the objections of the majority — is ruling the majority,» added Lofgren.
Discussing Clinton’s interview, director Brian Knappenberger told Variety, «I knew I would be asking former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton about one of the most painful moments of her life.»

«She has rarely spoken candidly about that election night and we’re really happy she talked about it for the series,» said Knappenberger, adding, «She has a unique perspective as one of only five people in American history to lose the presidency after winning the popular vote. The 2016 election also stands out because Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the popular vote by such a significant margin.»

John Lennon, músico inglés: “Si todo el mundo exigiera la paz en lugar de otro televisor, entonces habría paz”
En la primavera de 1969, el mundo ardía. La Guerra de Vietnam se devoraba las vidas de miles de jóvenes en el sudeste asiático, las calles de Europa aún crujían por las réplicas del Mayo Francés y la Guerra Fría dictaba un guion de paranoia global. En ese ecosistema de tensión absoluta, el hombre más famoso del planeta decidió atrincherarse en la cama de un hotel. Estamos hablando de John Lennon, quien supo ser el líder de The Beatles. No lo hizo para esconderse, sino para encender un megáfono incómodo.
Instalados en la suite 1742 del Hotel Queen Elizabeth en Montreal, John Lennon y Yoko Ono convirtieron su luna de miel en una acción artística, política y mediática sin precedentes: el Bed-In for Peace (Encamada por la paz). Entre sábanas blancas, rodeados de flores y carteles que rezaban “Hair Peace” y “Bed Peace”, la pareja recibió durante siete días a periodistas, filósofos y activistas. Fue el 1 de junio de ese año que dijo: “Si todo el mundo exigiera la paz en lugar de otro televisor, entonces habría paz”.
Cronistas escépticos le exigían soluciones pragmáticas a un músico de rock. Entonces disparó esta sentencia que hoy opera como una profecía de nuestra era hiperconectada. Pero para desarmar la potencia de esa frase es imperativo analizar su contexto histórico y simbólico. A finales de la década del 60, el televisor no era un electrodoméstico común; era el nuevo tótem del capitalismo tardío, el centro de gravedad de la sala de estar de la clase media global y la gran promesa de confort de posguerra.
Lennon, un agudo observador de la conducta de masas, identificó allí una trampa. El sistema ofrecía bienestar material a cambio de apatía política. La comodidad de consumir imágenes —incluso las de la propia guerra transmitida a la hora de la cena— funcionaba como un anestésico para la acción civil. La frase encierra una ecuación filosófica de responsabilidad individual: la paz no es un accidente geográfico ni un decreto de las cúpulas de poder; es una demanda colectiva que se asume o se delega.
Si el ciudadano medio invierte su energía, su tiempo y su salario en acumular bienes de consumo en lugar de presionar a sus gobernantes, se vuelve cómplice por omisión. Reemplácese hoy la palabra “televisor” por el último modelo de smartphone, la suscripción a una plataforma de streaming o el algoritmo de turno, y la interpelación de Lennon mantiene su vigencia intacta, desnudando cómo el entretenimiento y el mercado fagocitan las urgencias humanitarias. Para que haya paz, primero hay que exigirla.
Aunque la frase nació como una declaración oral al calor del debate periodístico, su supervivencia histórica y su estatus de manifiesto político se consolidaron gracias a su registro impreso. La cita aparece en John Lennon en sus propias palabras, publicado originalmente en 1980 por los editores Miles y Pearce Marchbank. A diferencia de las biografías tradicionales, este libro se estructuró como una curaduría minuciosa de declaraciones textuales, cartas, manifiestos y fragmentos de entrevistas.
Esa frase en Montreal no fue un exabrupto ni un eslogan publicitario; es, posiblemente, la síntesis perfecta del viaje intelectual de su autor. Representa la transición definitiva del John Lennon ídolo de masas —el joven de Liverpool atrapado en la histeria de la Beatlemanía de álbumes como A Hard Day’s Night— al John Lennon activista radical y artista conceptual influenciado por el situacionismo de Yoko Ono. Toda la obra posterior de Lennon está contenida conceptualmente en esa crítica al televisor.
Es el mismo nervio ideológico que meses después pariría la campaña global de afiches callejeros War Is Over! (If You Want It) (¡La guerra ha terminado! [Si tú quieres]) y que, en 1971, encontraría su forma artística en el himno Imagine. Cuando el músico cantaba sobre imaginar a la humanidad despojada de posesiones, fronteras y religiones, no lo hacía desde una utopía ingenua o de fantasía infantil, sino desde la convicción de que la sociedad civil estaba atrapada en un diseño cultural destinado a distraerla.
John Winston Lennon nació el 9 de octubre de 1940 en Liverpool, Inglaterra, en medio de los bombardeos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y creció marcado por el abandono de sus padres y la crianza de su estricta tía Mimi. Su espíritu rebelde encontró refugio en el naciente rock and roll, lo que lo llevó a fundar The Quarrymen, germen de lo que pronto se convertiría en The Beatles. Junto a Paul McCartney, George Harrison y Ringo Starr, Lennon protagonizó el fenómeno cultural más masivo de la historia de la música.
Entre sus grandes álbumes están Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band y Abbey Road. Tras la disolución de la banda en 1970, el músico canalizó su genio en una carrera solista profundamente introspectiva y vanguardista de la mano de su esposa, la artista Yoko Ono, legando al mundo obras maestras como los discos John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band e Imagine. Su vida pública estuvo signada tanto por su genialidad artística como por su férreo activismo político contra la Guerra de Vietnam.-
Tras un retiro de cinco años para dedicarse a la crianza de su segundo hijo, Sean Lennon (ya había tenido a Julian Lennon con su primera esposa, Cynthia Powell), el compositor regresó a la escena musical en 1980 con el aclamado álbum Double Fantasy. Sin embargo, el renacimiento creativo fue trágicamente interrumpido el 8 de diciembre de ese mismo año: al regresar a su residencia en el Edificio Dakota de Nueva York, Mark David Chapman, un fanático perturbado, lo asesinó a balazos. Tenía apenas 40 años.
