We saw our state's best legal minds deliver a careful, forceful defense of NJ's ban on dangerous, for-profit private detention. But today's ruling shows that this fight cannot only take place in our courts. It's time for NJ legislators to step up and pass the Immigrant Trust Act.

🚨‼️3RD CIRCUIT FEDERAL COURT OVERTURNS NJ DETENTION BAN This decision allows for private prison companies to continue doing business in NJ, overriding our state values. But let’s be clear, IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE 💥MASS RALLY AT ELIZABETH DETENTION CENTER, TODAY @ 3:30 PM
From Victoria Lee's father: "For a year, we have hoped to see the officer, Tony Pickens Jr., stand before the law. This week, we were devastated to be told that this would not happen.... We will miss her for the rest of our lives." northjersey.com/story/news/ber…
It’s important to understand that NJ won a near total ban on ICE detention in 2021, but the private prison company CoreCivic challenged the ban, and the Biden administration backed CoreCivic in overruling the ban: leftvoice.org/biden-just-hel…
Statement from Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin on the Third Circuit’s Decision in CoreCivic.
Our statement: "This is a win for the corporate overlords whose mission is not to serve the United States Constitution, but to deliver profits for their shareholders. We need the #ImmigrantTrustAct NOW." njaij.org/ab5207_decision
New Jersey is now the front line of family separation. CoreCivic operates with impunity & our families, loved ones pay the price. We won’t stop until ALL ICE jails are shut down across New Jersey and the country. nj1015.com/new-jersey-imm…

NJ loses its appeal of ruling that found the state cannot bar private entities from contracting with ICE to detain immigrants newjerseymonitor.com/wp-content/upl…
The federal appeal courts ruling could pave the way for the expansion of private ICE detention centers in NJ and states with similar laws, as it diminishes the ability of states to challenge federal immigration enforcement. northjersey.com/story/news/new…
#STATEMENT Following the news that the 3rd Circuit Federal Court overturned NJ detention ban, Nedia Morsy of @MaketheRoadNJ , issued this statement on behalf of the organization’s thousands of members. "We will continue to fight until all of our people can live free.”

New Jersey’s Congressional Democrats stand united in opposition of the Trump Administration’s decision to create a detention facility for undocumented immigrants at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
That's right: the criminalization of immigrants is a racist lie. Today, the mass detention and deportation machine is nearly indistinguishable from the carceral system that perpetuates state violence against Black Americans. The fight for liberation is connected. #FreeThemAll
New: When Dems scuffled with immigration officials outside Delaney Hall in May, the Trump admin accused them of siding with violent criminals. ICE’s own statistics, however, show that almost all of the facility’s detainees have no criminal convictions. newjerseyglobe.com/immigration/th…
