""We need swift relief to ensure we can enforce the law and protect New Jerseyans. DHS cannot transform local neighborhoods into detention outposts without considering the impacts on local resources and consulting with the state and local governments.""
""As Secretary Mullin said in his confirmation hearing: 'I will work with the community leaders and make sure that we are delivering for the American people what the President set out.'""
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill's administration and Roxbury Township are requesting a federal judge to pause the construction of an immigration detention center. They argue that the Trump administration's acquisition of a warehouse for this purpose violates federal laws. The Attorney General emphasizes the need for swift legal relief to protect local resources and ensure community consultation. The Department of Homeland Security is reviewing its plans, while a related case in Maryland has already resulted in a pause on similar construction.
