Delaney Hall ICE Agent: Dominick Rego

On May 22, 2026 detainees at Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ launched a hunger strike over the horrific conditions inside. Tensions over the conditions in the federal detention center have resulted in several highly visible clashes with the state, including when in June 2025 four men escaped the facility in coordination with protests happening outside the gates.

Similarly, this week a mass protest has been stationed outside the gates of Delaney Hall in solidarity with the hunger strikers. As the number of protestors grow by the day, the state has been relocating and supplementing the number of ICE agents to the location of the protest. ICE agents have been extremely brutal, beating and gassing protestors, and in one instance pushed a protestor under a moving industrial vehicle crushing their leg.

One ICE agent that is currently on the ground at Delaney Hall and is known for his brutality has been positively identified as South Jersey native Dominick Rego.

Comments from Rego’s FaceBook account. Based on his grammar and spelling there are few questions as to why he became an ICE agent.

Rego is a regular on staff ICE agent at Delaney Hall and has been pictured there previously brutalizing protestors in 2025.

He was recently listed in a habeas corpus lawsuit against Delaney Hall and is specifically named as being involved.

Rego has been working at Delaney Hall for years, and while the lawsuit is not currently accessible to the public, one has to wonder what human rights abuses Rego is responsible for.

To any protestors on the ground at Delaney Hall: Use this information how you see fit. Dominick Rego is a danger to all and deserves everything that may be coming to him.

It is time to level the playing field. ICE agents at Delaney Hall and all over the US act with impunity. They think they cannot be targeted or held accountable.
