New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the operators of the Delaney Hall immigration detention center after Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) and Garden State health officials said the operators denied them full access to the facility.

Delaney Hall in Newark has been at the epicenter of controversy in New Jersey, as protesters have clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and state police outside the facility and demonstrated against what detainees on a hunger strike have called the “terrible and inhumane” conditions inside the center. Sherrill said she was denied access to the facility last Monday, along with state health officials, though the New Jersey Department of Health inspected a “limited part” of the facility later that week, according to the governor.
