My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe – and an increased ICE surge in the area outside of Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety.

Today is the first day of hurricane season, and FEMA still hasn't answered basic questions about whether it's ready.

This is unacceptable and needlessly puts lives in danger.

We must continue to fight the abuses being carried out by ICE and DHS and hold the Trump Administration accountable.

Ultimately, Delaney Hall must be shut down.

This is an absolute abomination. We are proud to see so many New Jerseyans show up for their neighbors and friends to express their outrage.

I urge those protesting outside of Delaney Hall to bring the temperature down so we can focus on the detainees and their families.

I refuse to let that happen in New Jersey. I will not give ICE a pretext.

Violent, chaotic clashes hurt everyone. They put the lives of both protesters and law enforcement in danger.

You should not be here. You are not helping the people detained at Delaney Hall, you're not helping detainee families, and you're certainly not keeping New Jersey safe.

I will ensure public safety and I refuse to give ICE an excuse to surge into our communities.

My office has received concerned calls from New Jerseyans who have reported that detainees at Delaney Hall have been beaten and pepper sprayed in retaliation for protesting the horrific conditions of this for-profit facility.

We have had enough of this coordinated campaign of brutality. My colleagues and I will not rest until this facility closes its doors and our communities are made whole again.

Yes, I have concerns.

I stand firmly in support of the brave detainees inside the facility—and the protesters outside—who are standing up for what’s right.

Yes, I have concerns. That guy has questions to answer – and that’s what campaigns are for.

So much is riding on Democrats taking control. If we do not get the votes necessary to take care of the House and the Senate, we will continue to have an out-of-control president.
