Six protesters were arrested on Wednesday, according \u200bto Mullin. U.S. Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey, who came to support protesters, was pepper-sprayed at the protest \u200bearly this week.<\/div><div>Sherrill joined \u2060protesters on Memorial Day and attempted to visit the facility, but ICE denied her access. Instead, she listened to a detainee account on a phone call from outside. Mullin called her attempt &#8220;nothing more than a political stunt.&#8221;<\/div><div>&#8220;The people inside Delaney Hall are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, and members of our community,&#8221; Sherrill said in \u2060a statement. &#8220;In \u200bNew Jersey, we believe in the rule of law and that everyone deserves to be \u200btreated with basic dignity.&#8221;<\/div><div>On Thursday, several officials of the New Jersey Health Department visited Delaney Hall but were only allowed to inspect food service and the kitchen.
