Demonstrators clashed with police this past weekend outside the privately run Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, seen here pushing against barricades.
Federal and state officers used riot shields and tear gas to disperse the crowds.
The protests were sparked by reports of poor conditions inside the 1,000-bed facility, including concerns about food quality.
The wife of one detainee spoke with the "News Hour" earlier today.
Her face is blurred at her request.
GABRIELA FUENTES, Wife of Delaney Hall Detainee: It's not because they don't want to eat it because they don't like it.
It's because it's rotten.
It's because when they go downstairs to lunch, there was an incident about their beans with worms in it.
In the breakfast, their milk is chewy.
So how do they think they're going to be able to eat their cereal?
But when they pour that milk in the cereal, the cereal is expired too.
GEOFF BENNETT: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Democratic lawmakers have called for Delaney Hall's closure over the reported conditions.
In response, Department of Homeland Security posted on social media: "Everyone being held inside Delaney Hall broke the law.
This is a detention center.
We do not provide luxury accommodations."
In Colorado, election denier Tina Peters was released from prison today after serving less than a quarter of her nine-year sentence.
The former elections clerk was convicted in 2024 for her involvement in a plot to show that voting machines in the 2020 election were rigged against Donald Trump.
Joe Biden was the winner of that election.
Last month, Colorado's Democratic Governor Jared Polis commuted her sentence amid pressure from President Trump.
Soon after her release, Peters appeared on right-wing podcaster Steve Bannon's program where she accused Democrats of trying to cheat in this year's midterms.
Colombia's presidential election is set for a run-off later this month, with a pro-Trump candidate enjoying a surge in the polls.
Supporters of Abelardo de la Espriella celebrated his strong showing in Sunday's first round of elections, where he got nearly 44 percent of the vote.
That's thanks largely to his promises to crack down on violent crime.
He beat out progressive opponent Ivan Cepeda, who initially questioned the validity of the results, but then today backed away from such claims.
Since neither candidate won 50 percent of the vote, a run-off election will be held on June 21.
In Kenya, hundreds of young people protested today against plans by the U.S.
government to set up an Ebola quarantine facility for Americans exposed to the virus.
They marched to the gates of the air base where U.S.
officials hoped to establish the center.
On Friday, Kenya's High Court temporarily blocked the plan.
Then, on Monday, Kenya's health minister said the facility would serve everyone and not be reserved exclusively for U.S.
nationals.
But protesters remained unconvinced, arguing that Kenya should not host foreign patients when the country itself is not facing an active outbreak.
SUSAN WANGARI, Protester: We want to tell the president he cannot be making such a decision to people of Kenya without even considering what will be the effect of what they are doing.
We feel that we are being shortchanged, because they didn't even come for public participation.
GEOFF BENNETT: Meantime, in Democratic Republic of the Congo, the outbreak continues to spread across three Eastern provinces with more than 280 confirmed cases so far and at least 1,000 suspected cases.
A.I.
giant Anthropic is moving forward with an initial public offering.
The company behind the Claude chatbot submitted a confidential filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
Anthropic is looking to get out ahead of rival OpenAI, which is preparing its own filing as the companies look to tap investor enthusiasm in artificial intelligence.
Meantime, on Wall Street today, stocks inched higher amid ongoing uncertainty over Iran.
The Dow Jones industrial average added nearly 50 points to start the week.
The Nasdaq gained more than 100 points.
The S&P 500 also ended in positive territory.
And Serena Williams is returning to professional tennis after a four-year absence.
The 44-year-old will play doubles at the Queen's Club Tournament later this month, an event that leads up to Wimbledon.
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion confirmed the news in a social media video.
Williams bid farewell to the sport after the 2022 U.S.
Open, though she herself never used the word retirement.
