What is not in the video
- The House Judiciary hearing document of July 21 (snack purchases) exceeded the retention size limit and is cited by locator only. The county results portal is a script application; the May 12 result is quoted from a news report citing the Clerk. No official DHS or ICE video statement on Delaney Hall was found; the Department's side is its May 29 release and the Secretary's hearing answer.
- No midnight or source publication timestamps fabricated; temporal scoring eligibility remains unknown.
- The required fixture-table resolution mode uses a retained empty local identifier table; no synthetic sources or live registry claimed.
- Attribution, source identity and located excerpts are checked. Truth, rights clearance and public release require editorial review.

About this video
What the video shows. The finding we will explain: one building, Delaney Hall, an immigration detention centre in Newark run for the federal government by a private operator, put the city and the state on one side and the Department of Homeland Security on the other; both claim public safety and the law, and they part on cooperation with immigration enforcement, on the conditions inside, and on who inspects a federal facility on city ground. The proof: seven record fragments with their original audio, Mayor Ras Baraka's executive order (February 25) and his inaugural remarks (July 6), Governor Mikie Sherrill's line on ICE, her four demands and the restored visitation (May 30 and 31), and the House Committee on Homeland Security hearing of June 3 (Rep. LaMonica McIver; Secretary Markwayne Mullin's answer to Rep. Nellie Pou), with the Department's May 29 release quoted on a card. The summary puts the three contested points on one map with the shared premise of each; a final card carries Comuvia's judgement on the complexity of the issue, rated High and labelled as a judgement. The vote: the May 12 municipal result (as reported, citing the Essex County Clerk) and what Newark votes on November 3.
How it was made. The presenter is a computer-generated character (Unreal Engine MetaHuman) with an AI voice, reading a script drafted with Comuvia's AI system and reviewed by an editor; the video says so on screen, in its description and in YouTube's altered-or-synthetic-content label. The record fragments are unaltered official uploads of the City of Newark and the New Jersey Office of the Governor (short excerpts with on-screen attribution) and the House committee feed of June 3 (a federal work; copies from PBS NewsHour's clips, whose logo is covered by a credit bar). Every quotation is anchored to a retained copy of its source in the evidence packet; the Department's release was retained from a browser-equivalent fetch because its site refuses scripted retrieval, and the receipt records the method.
How to inspect it. Every source above is a record in a Comuvia SDK store: retained bytes with digests, verbatim assertions with selector checks against the retained text, and the interpretation with its conditions. The House Judiciary hearing document of July 21 exceeded the retention size limit and is listed by locator only; the county's results portal is a script application and is listed by locator with the news report that cites it.
