New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 20/01/2026The 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. 064
New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 20/01/2026🚨 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.

New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 13/01/2026THE 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.

New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 13/01/20262+ Hours later: WE ARE SO BACK!! Senate bills are now passing, starting with Privacy Protections Act: 1118
New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 12/01/2026The Senate is on recess waiting on the Assembly who JUST passed the 3rd and final bill to codify the Immigrant Trust Directive. But we aren't done, yall. This is just ONE chamber and now Senate has to act. Stay tuned! 292
New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Taxes are actually at the heart of this bill! NJ overpays in our state's share to the federal gov't. Meaning, we pay more in federal taxes than we receive back in federal programs. So why should ICE get to double dip by deputizing our local & State law enforcement? That's why we need this law. 191
New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 12/01/2026🤮🤮🤮 Ew, some lawmakers are openly airing race replacement theory: "Look at Lakewood, look at Red Bank, look how our cities have changed.

New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 12/01/2026But 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. 2146
New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice @njaij.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Our 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 293
