Newark, N.J. - Large yellow roadblocks were in front of the Delaney concert hall on Tuesday morning after protests from immigration and customs law enforcement facilities.
An ice officer told Fox News that the roadblocks were stretched to the gate itself after Monday's protests. In addition to the roadblock, signs say: "Private property, will not trespass, and violators will be prosecuted."
The facility is operated by private contractor Geo Group, but law enforcement is also large outside the building.

On Monday, two people were arrested during a protest because clergy attended the meeting and said they would be detained “voluntarily”. When they chant and sing songs, they link the weapon outside the main entrance of Delaney Hall.
The protest came after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's governor, Ras Baraka, was arrested last week.
Baraka's arrest occurred during a protest attended by three members of Congress, who said they were present in the Congress-stipulated oversight duties related to federal detention facilities. The three councillors were outside the facility along with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow access to the ice bus.
According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, lawmakers then rushed into the door and past security. According to X's post, members including Rep. Lamonica McIver said that "ice created chaos" that led to the incident.
"We are not going to be anything incorrect. We ask them to comply with our laws," Baraka said after the incident. "Abide by the policies and rules of the city and New Jersey and not to do a rough approach to the U.S. Constitution, the Human Rights Act, the Fourth, Fifth, 14th Amendment, and the soil where due process should be available."

The arrests were due to the fact that activists have been calling for use for several days, a privately operated facility that was converted into an immigration detention facility this year. According to the Washington Post, ICE also detained immigration detention in buildings in large numbers of industrial areas in the city from 2011 to 2017. The Department of Homeland Security said many of the detainees at the facility currently face criminal charges or have been convicted.
"Who do they want to release from Delaney Hall? Child rapist, murderer, drug trafficker, MS-13 gang member or known terrorist?" Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin asked after Monday's demonstration.
"It's a cheap political stunt for Democrats and these protesters," she said. "We don't have it. They put law enforcement officers in danger. They put our employees in danger and put detainees in danger. You see they didn't even let the ambulance pass. It's not something this administration is going to endure. It's part of the reason why the mayor was arrested.

Meanwhile, U.S. attorneys in Alina Habba, New Jersey, said she is further studying what was involved in Friday’s officials.
“My office is conducting a thorough investigation with our federal agency partners to understand what happened on Friday at Delaney Hall. As each investigation does, all the investigations handled by the office are like this, and all available evidence will be thoroughly reviewed before it is determined how it will be done. I don’t put these issues into practice easily,” Habba released. ”
