@kim.senate.gov Senator, any chance you can get the State of New Jersey to fix its official NJ OPRA request form? It contains code that's been mangling and discarding requests for years. Total violation of ADA and NJ LAD, not an exaggeration. www-njlib.nj.gov/NJ_OPRA/opra...

Unfortunate development on the HB630 front. The MD legislature has moved the committee hearing to March 11th. We don’t yet know why. Every delay in the process of resisting ICE’s use of shipping centers for mass detention centers is unacceptable. More to follow as we learn more.

Not to be "that guy" but immigration enforcement operations are going massively underreported around the nation. When you start to aggregate the data and match up the dates (which is what we do), ICE has been working hard pretty much nationwide, using deputized DSS/TSA/IRS and more, since last fall.
