Please contact Governor Murphy's office and urge him to sign the immigrant protection package into law immediately. Call: 609-292-6000 Text: 732-605-5455 It doesn’t matter if you don’t live here. These bills have drawn national attention and codifying them into law will give other states a roadmap

Not dangerous criminals. Dylan, a high school student, came here legally. He showed up to court—and ICE grabbed him. The feds are asking judges to dismiss migrant cases. That dismissal strips legal status, turning people undocumented on the spot—then ICE moves in under “expedited removal.”

This anti-semitic arsonist has a history of wife & child abuse but the courts had sent him home with a slap on the wrist to “make it easier for him to co-parent.” How about they start worrying about the REAL criminals, the REAL antisemites/racists and leave immigrants and trans people alone???
