Five anti-ICE rioters were arrested in Newark for assaulting federal agents and smashing a car windshield, after another chaotic nighttime standoff with law enforcement at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center.

Agitators blocked government vehicles from leaving the detention center on Friday — banging, kicking and obstructing law enforcement.

Rabid protestors were heard shouting “Let’s go coward,” “F— you,” “Are you proud of yourself a——” and “quit your f—— job,” at the caravan, according to Fox News.

ICE agents then moved to disperse the crowd leading to physical confrontations with the protestors.

In one tense scene, an ICE agent was heard yelling at a protester, “What did you say? You’re going to kill me?,” before apparently arresting the individual, the outlet reported.

ICE arrested four individuals Friday night, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. New Jersey State Police made a fifth arrest after an agitator broke a car windshield.

“Assaulting and obstructing ICE law enforcement is a crime and felony. Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Mullin wrote on X Saturday.

“Rioters will NOT slow us down and ICE operations remain undeterred.”

The unidentified rioters were charged with assault of law enforcement officers, obstruction and threats, according to Mullin.

The violence came one day after lefty Newark Mayor Ras Baraka decided to remove local law enforcement resources from outside Delaney Hall, which has been beset for two weeks by violent rioters protesting supposedly dire conditions in the jail.

Friday’s arrests outside the facility bring the total number over the last two weeks to at least 46 — with upwards of 20 people taken into custody on June 1 after an imposed curfew sparked violence.

Earlier Saturday, The Post revealed that detainees at Delaney Hall are living the high life — doing yoga with aromatherapy, using computers, and making use of state-of-the-art gym facilities.
