Episode Description

Jamie is joined by Jensen, an activist who was on the ground for the most intense portion of the anti-ICE actions at the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, NJ. They discuss the history of the privately-run GEO group facility and how it developed to this point of crisis. What tactics were used by prisoners inside the facility and protesters outside, and what limits did they come up against? The feckless behavior of local Democrats like Newark mayor Ras Baraka. The implications of state repression. And why is migrant defense a strategic area for revolutionaries to intervene in?
