A New Jersey registered nurse and Kean University public health professor has filed a legal claim alleging she was assaulted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention facility in Newark. According to the ACLU of New Jersey, the claim was filed on behalf of Norma Bowe, who says she was providing medical assistance at a mobile health clinic outside the facility on May 25, 2026, when the alleged incident occurred. Bowe alleges she approached the area after seeing an individual in need of medical help and was pushed to the ground by masked agents while attempting to assist. Legal filings claim she suffered a head injury, fractured kneecap, and torn meniscus. The ACLU has filed a notice of claim against the federal government, seeking accountability over the allegations. ICE and federal officials have not agreed with the accusations and have previously defended agency operations at Delaney Hall. Any response regarding this specific claim will be added if received. The incident comes amid ongoing controversy and protests surrounding the Newark detention facility, including allegations from detainees and advocates regarding conditions inside the facility, which federal officials have denied. āļø These are allegations. No determination of wrongdoing has been made, and all parties are entitled to due process.
