The first amendment gives everyone the right to record. There is no such thing as verified credentials to become the press and film in public.

Being told when and where you're allowed to protest doesn't sound, to me, like what protests are designed to do.
Insane that local government is cooperating with this.
It makes sense under the framework that police are a right-wing paramilitary.
They understand this fact, and will aid their allies like ICE and Patriot Front who seek to impose their white-supremicist agenda upon the country. They work in the knowledge that their job is to oppress the left and support the far-right reactionary ideology with government-sanctioned force.
The left needs to accept this paradigm in order to compete against it.
“A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle,and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor.At a point, one can only fight fire with fire” Nelson Mandela , Long Walk to Freedom
I was actually thinking about this. While we have movements determined to keep the resistance peaceful, history shows that the ownership class, the political class and the police absolutely will resort to violence to preserve their power, even if it means massacring dissidents to the last, or engaging in genocide.
Is this a decision that was made by the police or civilian government? The way it's worded is a bit ambiguous.
Immensely disappointed but not at all surprised by my governor. I’ll be harassing her staff with angry constituent messages until she’s out of office
Delaney Hall is a facility used for immigrant detention in Newark, New Jersey, United States. The private prison is managed by the GEO Group under contract for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which awarded GEO Group a US$1 billion contract for fifteen years.[4] Delaney Hall previously held immigrant detainees from 2011 to 2017. The facility re-opened in 2025 and has an authorized capacity of up to 1,196.
Prisoners there have been on a hunger strike since late May (arc)
"They're given rotten frozen food, or in the case of last week, they found live worms in their food, we're also hearing of people being denied toilet paper," said activist Catalina Adorno, who explained why she arrived to stand in support of detainees.
Late Wednesday morning, New York Congressman Adriano Espaillat and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker were allowed inside and spoke to detainees who are complaining about inhumane conditions and inadequate medical care.
"Repercussions and retaliation have been launched against the people in the hunger strike. We were informed that 13 of them were moved out since the hunger strike began," Espaiilat said.
"The stories I've gotten, especially from women inmates, about the access to medical attention, seemed unsatisfactory, if not downright dangerous to their conditions," Booker said.
On Wednesday afternoon, New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler made his way inside.
"The food is very sparse. They get up and have breakfast at 4 in the morning, lunch at maybe 12, dinner at 4, and very small portions, so it's impossible, and very often, there are maggots in the food," Nadler said.
