"Today, important protections that have been years in the making have passed the Legislature. But while key safeguards are included, the bills have since been weakened and fail to address the root of the issue..."

Extreme heat affects everybody. But it's immigrant workers and farmworkers that are most vulnerable to these dangerous conditions – that's why there's no #NJforALL without heat protections for workers. Stay safe. Stay hydrated.

Remind you of anything? New Jersey was ground zero. Like NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, @rasjbaraka.bsky.social and @replamonica.bsky.social were doing their jobs to ensure their constituents' safety at Delaney Hall, which we now know was compromised by the inhumane conditions. njaij.org/eyesonice

🚨“No one really knows what the true picture is on the inside, which is really scary. That’s why so many people have shown up—we know ICE has a habit of lying.” - @amytorres.bsky.social via @taylorjung.bsky.social This lack of transparency isn't just deeply concerning – it's DANGEROUS. #FreeThemAll

🚨 Transferring folks out of Delaney Hall and into even farther detention centers will stall their due process and make it harder for their families and attorneys to reach them. That's why we're calling Congress to demand #ReleasesNotTransfers – and you can, too.

New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 16/06/2025
🚨 ICE is targeting Black and Brown folks regardless of status. Why? Because the mass detention and deportation machine is not about protecting anyone, but rather maintaining white supremacy. None of us is safe until all of us are safe. We need the #ImmigrantTrustAct NOW.

New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
📣 CALL TO ACTION: RELEASES, NOT TRANSFERS 💥 ICE is moving to transfer ALL community members inside Delaney Hall out of the facility in the next 24 hours 🚨 This will delay their due process and separate them from their families. We need YOU to raise your voice. 🧵

🚨 ICYMI: Last night, we were at Delaney Hall, standing up for folks in detention without regular meals, visitation, or care. DHS is saying they "rioted" – but we could smell the pepper spray the guards used against them from the parking lot outside. Solidarity with folks in #DelaneyHall.
