VIDEO: Teaneck Man Arrested At Bergen County Jail Protest

HACKENSACK, NJ — Video shows protesters and law enforcement officers clashed at the Bergen County Jail Friday afternoon as protests in solidarity with ICE detainee hunger strikers continued.

The protests resulted in the arrest of Niko Sanabria-John, 25, of Teaneck, the Bergen County Sheriff's Office said Friday evening.

In a video posted to social media, a protester is taken to the ground by law enforcement officers as a barrier separating the officers and protesters falls.

Here is a video of the scene – viewer discretion advised. The opinions of the poster do not reflect Patch:

Sanabria-John was arrested, authorities said, "for Trespassing and Obstruction of a Governmental Function after being advised of the restricted area." According to the Sheriff's Office, he was also charged with resisting arrest.

According to Ridgewood for Black Liberation, he has since been released.

Daily protests at the jail have been ongoing since Nov. 27 as ICE detainees at the jail have been on a hunger strike for nearly a month.

Tensions have been rising since Sunday when protesters blocked traffic outside the jail.

Then, this week, Sheriff Anthony Cureton's house was vandalized when someone spray-painted "free them all" on the garage of his Englewood home.

The Abolish ICE NY/NJ Coalition released a statement in the wake of that story, stating clearly that they were not responsible for the vandalism.

"The Abolish ICE NY-NJ Coalition and the organizations it represents are not responsible for the vandalism at Sheriff Anthony Cureton's house. Our sole focus is supporting the men currently on hunger strike for their freedom," they wrote.
