I will continue advocating for humane treatment at Delaney Hall for detainees and their families, and ultimately to close the facility for good.

As Members of the New Jersey delegation, we will continue to hold the Trump Administration accountable for their unlawful cruelty and we won’t rest until Delaney Hall is closed for good.

These actions will help ensure more people in New Jersey's communities receive due process under the law and more New Jersey attorneys are mobilized to stand up for the fundamental human rights of detainees and their families.

I will continue fighting for accountability, transparency, and better conditions at Delaney Hall.

We thank Governor Sherrill for her leadership in fighting to close Delaney Hall and working to protect New Jerseyans from ICE’s violent escalations.

We are increasing funding for the Detention Deportation Defense Initiative by $12 million – for a total of $20.2 million.

Families shared heartbreaking reports of unsafe, inhumane, and unconstitutional conditions — detainees being denied access to proper medical care and medication, violence and intimidation, threats of losing phone and video access…

It was absolutely necessary to protect public safety and avoid escalation.

I will continue pushing for accountability and improved conditions at the facility while reiterating my support for ultimately shutting it down.

ICE is denying me entry to Delaney Hall — raising serious questions about what is happening behind its walls.

Last night in Jersey City, I met with families whose loved ones are being detained there.

I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come.

If the GEO Group - with a $1 billion government contract - has nothing to hide and the conditions inside Delaney Hall are as safe and as sanitary as this private corporation and the Trump Administration claim, then there is no legitimate…

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.

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.

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.

began aggressive and dangerous actions against Newark and New Jersey State Police

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

You're not helping detainee families, and you're certainly not keeping New Jersey safe today.

I refuse to back down in fighting the Trump administration and the threats they've made.

I am calling on everyone — especially members of federal, state, and local government — to keep people safe, de-escalate the situation, and lower the temperature.
