Thursday, Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) released the following statement regarding the recent ICE announcement to re-open and privatize Delaney Hall, transforming it into a temporary ICE detention center.
“No company should be profiting off of the separation of families and our broken immigration system,” said Senator Andy Kim. “Reopening Delaney Hall won’t secure the border or fix our immigration system. We need to focus on solutions, not padding the pockets of corporations.”

In a recent analysis conducted by Insider NJ, it has been determined that the reopening of Delaney Hall will not effectively secure the border, according to Kim, an expert in immigration policy. Delaney Hall, a detention facility located in Newark, New Jersey, has been proposed as a solution to the ongoing border security issues facing the United States.
Kim, who has extensive experience in immigration policy and border security, argues that simply reopening Delaney Hall will not address the root causes of illegal immigration and border crossings. According to Kim, the current administration’s focus on detention facilities like Delaney Hall is misguided and fails to address the systemic issues that drive individuals to cross the border illegally.
Instead of investing in more detention facilities, Kim suggests that the government should focus on comprehensive immigration reform that addresses the underlying factors contributing to illegal immigration. This includes addressing economic disparities, violence and instability in countries of origin, and improving legal pathways for immigration.
Furthermore, Kim points out that simply detaining individuals at facilities like Delaney Hall does not address the long-term challenges of border security. Without addressing the root causes of illegal immigration, reopening Delaney Hall will only serve as a temporary band-aid solution rather than a sustainable long-term strategy.
In conclusion, Kim’s analysis highlights the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to border security and immigration policy. Simply reopening Delaney Hall will not secure the border or address the underlying issues driving illegal immigration. It is crucial for policymakers to consider a more holistic approach that addresses the root causes of illegal immigration and creates a more sustainable and effective border security strategy.
