(JTA) — A pickup truck drove into a row of Jewish protesters demonstrating at the street entrance to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement center in Central Falls, Rhode Island on Wednesday night. With the speed of the truck estimated at 10-15 miles an hour, It appears no one was seriously injured.
Protesters were then pepper-sprayed, according to people present at the protest. Hundreds of Jewish protesters had gathered at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility and dozens blocked the entrance to the center’s parking lot. The protest was the latest demonstration by Never Again Action, a new Jewish group protesting ICE and United States immigration policy by getting arrested at ICE detention facilities. Never Again Action tweeted that the car belonged to a guard at the detention center.
