Maryland prevailed! NJ next! File suit against DHS. ICE OUT OF NJ!

To: Gov. Sherrill, Sen. Space, Assembly Member Inganamort, Assembly Member Fantasia

From: A verified voter in Budd Lake, NJ

March 12

Good morning! In a situation that largely mirrors our own, Maryland was able to fight an ICE detention center based on negative environmental impacts and lack of transparency from DHS. I’m urging  the Governor to bring a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security immediately, given the favorable win in Maryland. It must be her priority to stop ICE’s expansion into Roxbury, New Jersey, because it will bring New Jersey into a deeper public health and environmental crisis. I’m asking her to direct all relevant government agencies to use every resource at their disposal to stop this. Governor Sherrill must work with other state governments, mobilize resources to families who have already been separated by New Jersey’s other two detention centers, and bring a lawsuit against the DHS now. This cannot wait. Thank you.
