Mother Nature Wipes Out Antifa Camp, Disperses Crowd (VIDEO)

Anti-ICE protesters camped outside a New Jersey detention facility got an unexpected eviction notice from Mother Nature when a powerful windstorm ripped through their setup and sent tents, canopies and belongings flying.

The scene unfolded June 6 outside Delaney Hall in Newark, where anti-ICE activists had gathered amid growing unrest around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility.

The site has become a flashpoint in recent weeks, with demonstrations escalating to the point that law enforcement intervention was needed.

But on Friday, protesters were not just dealing with police. They were battling heavy winds that tore through their encampment and scattered their gear across the area.

Journalist Nick Sortor shared video from outside the facility showing demonstrators clinging to tents and canopies as gusts whipped through the protest site.

The footage showed activists struggling to keep their camp from being blown apart as the storm rolled through northern New Jersey.

Sortor captioned the video with a mocking observation that “God is VERY entertained tonight,” while noting that protesters were “ducking and covering” as the weather took over.

Local reports said the storm hit the northern part of the state after a cold front had “swept through the region, bringing strong thunderstorms, damaging wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and localized flooding.”

Newark and Jersey City were among the areas hit hard by the winds, which toppled trees, scattered debris, blocked roads and damaged power lines.

National Weather Service meteorologist Matthew Wunsch said wind gusts reached up to 60 mph during the worst of the storm.

The damage extended beyond the protest site.

More than 42,000 New Jersey residents reportedly lost power at the height of the storm. By the next morning, more than 20,000 people across northern New Jersey were still in the dark.

For the protesters outside Delaney Hall, the storm briefly did what police lines and warnings had not fully accomplished: it broke up the camp and sent people scrambling.

But once the weather moved out, the unrest reportedly picked back up.

Newark police declared an unlawful assembly outside the detention facility later that evening after anti-ICE agitators resumed their activities near Delaney Hall.

The facility has remained a magnet for activists opposing federal immigration enforcement, with demonstrations becoming increasingly heated as the Trump administration continues its hard-line crackdown on illegal immigration.

The June 6 storm added a bizarre twist to the ongoing standoff, turning a protest encampment into a chaotic scene of flapping tents, flying debris and activists trying to keep their gear from disappearing down the street.

For a few moments, at least, the loudest force outside Delaney Hall was not a protest chant. It was the wind.
