Anti-ICE agitator charged with biting ICE officers at Delaney Hall was previously arrested for child sex crimes: report

The anti-ICE agitator who has been accused of biting ICE officers at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in New Jersey has previously been hit with child pornography charges, according to a local report in New Jersey. 

Brendan John Geier, 26, was charged on Friday for "allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers at Delaney Hall" earlier in the week. Delaney Hall has been a flashpoint this week in the news as far-left agitators have been rioting and protesting, claiming that detainees are suffering inhumane conditions.

"Today @TheJusticeDept charged rioter Brendan John Geier for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers at Delaney Hall last night. We will not tolerate the vicious attacks on ICE officers we’ve seen in New Jersey the last few days. These riots are clearly not 'peaceful protests' as you can see from the photos of these horrific wounds. Assault a federal officer, you’ll be held accountable," Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a post to X.

According to the DOJ, "At approximately 10:30 p.m., a large group of demonstrators was blocking that road. Deportation officers, in an attempt to clear the road, formed into a line and began to move towards the group of demonstrators, which included Geier. The deportation officers issued commands to the demonstrators to 'move back,' but the demonstrators, including Geier, ignored those commands and refused to clear the road. Geier instead engaged in a struggle with deportation officers, kicking officers and ultimately biting an officer’s forearm, and another’s knuckle. Both victims received treatment at a local hospital."

According to the Shore News Network, Geier has also previously been arrested for child sex crimes. The new charges come years after the other charges against him were filed, with counts of alleged possession of child pornography as well as uploading the child sexual abuse material through Skype on Sept. 17, 2018.

At the time, investigators seized a laptop, computer, and iPhone and discovered that numerous images were found to be suspected child pornography.

The scene at Delaney Hall has been chaotic over the last week, with riots and clashes between anti-ICE agitators and law enforcement. On Friday evening, reporter Cam Higby was also robbed of his phone and other equipment that was then smashed by the rioters.
