51% : A few yards away, on a broad driveway leading to the gate of the facility, armed officers from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, as ICE is officially known, stood guard outside the facility gate along with a black armored vehicle from the Department of Homeland Security, ICE's parent agency.
48% : Like the larger and more forceful groups of demonstrators who have been at the site all week, the women -- and a few men -- there on Tuesday were opposing the recent opening of Delaney Hall as a detention center privately owned and operated by the GEO Group under a 15-year, $1 billion contract with ICE.
39% : Regional and national spokespeople for ICE did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday on the bolstered security measures.
