On today's episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton covers breaking news from Newark, New Jersey, where tensions appear to be easing outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility after days of protests and clashes between demonstrators and police. Authorities announced that limited family visitations have resumed, with full visitation hours expected to return tomorrow as officials and activists work to calm unrest across Newark and surrounding communities. Meanwhile, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is calling for the facility's closure following an oversight visit with New Jersey House Democrats. Reverend Al examines every angle of the developing story with New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, and Reverend Steffie Bartley of the National Action Network, who joins live from the ground in Newark.
