🚨 No More Warnings: NJ State Police Enforce Curfew Outside Delaney Hall

AFTER DAYS OF PROTESTS AND GROWING TENSIONS OUTSIDE DELANEY HALL, NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE WASTED NO TIME ENFORCING THE CURFEW IN NEWARK. ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO REMAINED IN THE RESTRICTED AREA WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WITHIN SECONDS AS TROOPERS MOVED TO CLEAR THE SCENE. GOVERNOR MIKIE SHERRILL PREVIOUSLY STATED THAT FIVE OF SIX PEOPLE ARRESTED DURING EARLIER CLASHES WERE FROM OUTSIDE NEW JERSEY, WHILE URGING PROTESTERS TO REMAIN PEACEFUL. AUTHORITIES HAVE INCREASED ENFORCEMENT AROUND THE FACILITY AS DEMONSTRATIONS CONTINUE.

NJ State Police: ICE Agents To Step Back From Protest Area Outside Delaney Hall

FOLLOWING DAYS OF TENSE CONFRONTATIONS OUTSIDE NEWARK'S DELANEY HALL DETENTION FACILITY, NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE ANNOUNCED THAT ICE AGENTS HAVE AGREED TO STEP BACK FROM THE IMMEDIATE PROTEST AREA AS THE STATE ESTABLISHES A DESIGNATED ZONE FOR DEMONSTRATORS. STATE OFFICIALS SAY THE MOVE IS INTENDED TO REDUCE TENSIONS AND ALLOW FOR PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY WHILE MAINTAINING PUBLIC SAFETY. THE DETENTION CENTER ITSELF REMAINS OPERATIONAL, AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES WILL CONTINUE THEIR ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE FACILITY. THIS REMAINS A DEVELOPING STORY. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE STATE'S DECISION? 👇🏽 #NEWARK #DELANEYHALL #NEWJERSEY #ICE #NJNEWS #JERSEYTALKS #BREAKINGNEWS

AN ALASKA AIRLINES 737 AND A FEDEX 777 CARGO PLANE NEARLY COLLIDED WHILE LANDING ON INTERSECTING RUNWAYS AT NEWARK LIBERTY, ACCORDING TO FLIGHT DATA. THE SCARE HAPPENED AROUND 8:17 P.M. TUESDAY AS THE ALASKA FLIGHT CAME IN FROM PORTLAND AND THE FEDEX PLANE APPROACHED FROM MEMPHIS. 🚨 JUST SECONDS BEFORE TOUCHDOWN — AND ONLY ABOUT 150 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND — AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL ORDERED THE ALASKA PLANE TO ABORT AND GO AROUND. AT THE SAME TIME, THE FEDEX JET CONTINUED LANDING ON THE CROSSING RUNWAY. PRELIMINARY DATA SHOWS THE TWO AIRCRAFT WERE SEPARATED BY JUST 300–325 FEET. A FORMER FAA OFFICIAL SAYS THE ISSUE LIKELY CAME DOWN TO TIMING ON NEWARK’S INTERSECTING RUNWAYS — A KNOWN CHALLENGE FOR CONTROLLERS — ADDING THE GO-AROUND CALL MAY HAVE COME “TOO LATE.” ✈️ THE FAA SAYS GO-AROUNDS ARE A ROUTINE SAFETY MEASURE AND IS NOW INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT. ⚠️ THIS COMES JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER ANOTHER CLOSE CALL, WHEN A SINGAPORE AIRLINES PLANE CLIPPED A PARKED SPIRIT AIRLINES AIRCRAFT AT NEWARK
