Anti-ICE protesters pooling cash for riot gear, military-grade goggles to fuel Newark mayhem

Anti-ICE protesters are pooling cash to deliver riot gear to the front lines of the ongoing chaos in Newark outside the Delaney Hall detention center — fueling criticism that the mayhem is a well-funded, coordinated effort by outside “extremists.”

Donations are pouring in to help the protesters buy “helmets” and “knee/wrist/shin/arm guards” along with military-grade goggles to stay outside Delaney Hall, according to one list blasted out on social media by lefty political activist group the 50501 Movement, which was behind the No Kings anti-President Trump rallies.

The protesters specifically listed MIL-PRF-32432 shatterproof goggles — which are considered “U.S. military specification” that ensures protection from “battlefield-level projectile threats” — on their wish list.
