"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..."

The Safe Communities Act is a crucial piece of legislation. But it wasn't designed to stand alone. By refusing to provide full protections to New Jersey's immigrant communities, @govmurphy.bsky.social is allowing ICE and immigrant detention to continue terrorizing New Jersey families.

🚨 BREAKING: Earlier this morning, @govmurphy.bsky.social signed the Safe Communities Act while allowing TWO OUT OF THREE crucial bills in the immigrant protections package to die on his desk. Shame, shame, shame. 🔗 Read our full statement at bit.ly/statement12026

THE BILL HAS PASSED!! Codification of these protections is so crucial, but let us not forget that in part of the concurrence vote, we are leaving some communities behind if they have history with the criminal legal system. Due process is for ALL, not a few. Our fight continues!

But just like that… the Privacy Protection Act PASSES the Assembly! 🎉 If signed into law, your drivers license, license plate, student file, or library membership will no longer be used to sweep you into ICE's hands.

The Assembly board list shows 47 yay votes and 26 no votes on the Privacy Protection Act

Our legislative champions are holding strong and we... well, uh, we're holding our tongues. Why? As we sit here, some lawmakers are spewing racist lies about our communities and our worth. BUT WE KNOW: New Jersey values freedom of fear and that’s what these bills are rooted in. #njforall

Advocates sit in the gallery of the assembly and grit their teeth and watch in horror as some lawmakers tie the immigration bills introduced in 2026 to 2001's 9/11.
