Protest demonstrations at the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in New Jersey have drawn attention to a network of advocacy organizations that analysts say are providing support for the protests, according to an analysis by Fox News Digital. The report identifies approximately 100 groups as part of what one expert describes as the 'Delaney Hall 100,' including major civil liberties and progressive organizations.
The organizations named in the report include the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Indivisible, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). According to Fox News Digital's analysis, these groups have a combined revenue structure totaling nearly $825 million. The protests have resulted in dozens of arrests, according to the outlet.
This article is based primarily on reporting from Fox News Digital, a right-leaning news organization, as aggregated through AllSides media bias monitoring. No additional independent sources were available for this report at time of publication. The organizations named — ACLU, Indivisible, and DSA — have not provided direct comment within the source material reviewed.
What the Right Is Saying
The Fox News Digital report characterizes the protest activities at Delaney Hall in strong terms, describing them as having 'turned the facility into a war zone' with demonstrations that include violent elements. The analysis identifies what it describes as 'radical' elements within the broader group of protesters.
Conservative critics have argued that outside funding from large national organizations can amplify local protests and contribute to escalations at detention facilities. Some Republican lawmakers have called for investigations into whether federal funds are being used improperly to support anti-detention activism.
What the Left Is Saying
The source material does not include direct statements from progressive or left-leaning voices responding to the characterization of their activities. Organizations like the ACLU have historically defended the rights of detainees and immigrants in legal proceedings. The ACLU has previously argued that its work focuses on ensuring due process protections under the Constitution for all individuals, regardless of immigration status.
Progressive advocacy groups generally frame such protests as exercises of First Amendment rights and expressions of opposition to detention policies they view as overly punitive. These organizations typically maintain that their funding is transparent and directed toward legal advocacy, community organizing, and policy research rather than direct action.
What the Numbers Show
According to the Fox News Digital analysis cited in this report: approximately 100 groups were identified as part of what analysts call the 'Delaney Hall 100,' with combined revenues totaling nearly $825 million. The protests have resulted in dozens of arrests, according to the outlet. No independent verification of these figures was available from additional sources at time of publication.
These numbers represent claims from a single right-leaning news source and have not been independently verified by this publication. Historical IRS filings for nonprofit organizations named could provide public documentation of organizational revenues if further reporting were warranted.
The Bottom Line
The Delaney Hall protests have drawn attention to the intersection of immigration detention policy and advocacy group activism in New Jersey. The Fox News Digital report highlights what it characterizes as significant financial resources supporting anti-ICE demonstrations, while noting that a broad coalition of organizations — from established civil liberties groups to more progressive political organizations — are involved.
