The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new “camp” deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as “concentrating” certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.

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.”

It wasn’t him,but rather someone he knows not a staffer).Was insensitive;not explicitly transphobic. Made it even more impressive that he addressed it & didn’t say I was making much about nothing. He gets it &wants to be sure others do too.Cares about the entire LGBTQ+ community. Hope that helps.

4/4 around tough issues but rather hits them head on. As a leader in the grassroots community, I recognize the need for a strong, yet compassionate Gov. That’s why I am endorsing @stevenfulop.bsky.social for Gov of NJ.

3/4 I’ve seen him do this time and time again since announcing his candidacy but it was most striking given that I know his campaign is quite busy. NJ needs a governor who is responsive to the needs of all constituents, who has clear plans to address issues and does not tap dance

2/4 Not only did @StevenFulop listen but he quickly implemented plans to repair the situations. He not only cares about the most vulnerable, but acts! He is not afraid to stand up for the most vulnerable among us who lack a voice.

1/4This is why I’m endorsing @stevenfulop.bsky.social Fulop for Governor of NJ. In the last weeks of a busy primary, @StevenFulop took the time to speak to me about concerns I had regarding two vulnerable communities: the severely disabled and a transphobic statement that was made.

Throughout the day SUVs with darkened windows entered & left the facility; guards in masks, khakis and guns manned, chained & padlocked the gates. Our hearts ached for who had to leave without seeing their family member; and to the detainees that didn’t even know anyone was there to see them.

They apparently didn’t care that people had travelled for visitation at posted times; didn’t respect their humanity enough to advise them of changes. As a Jewish person, my mind goes back to the manner in which Nazis viewed Jews. And I’m only catching the glimpse that ICE is exposing in public

Louise Walpin @lounur.bsky.social · 12/05/2025
They handed them a new, very convoluted visitation schedule with different times each day depending on detainee’s gender and “detention level.” This was a change from the scheduled visitation hours currently posted which they are reportedly “in the process” of changing on the website.

After Senator Kim’s & Rep AOC’s offices intervened, they started to let groups of 2-4 visitors in approx every 15 -20 min. Last group to get in was at 4:10 pm. At 4:55p, they told the remaining 7 people, waiting since 2:30 pm that visiting hours were over and they wouldn’t be able to get in.

We crossed the street so family members could visit. Somewhere between 3 and 3:15 pm the ICE guards changed their story to “visitation was cancelled” because of what happened on Friday. A few of us reached out to contacts in congress.

Mother’s Day at ICE detention Center, Delaney Hall (DH), Newark NJ Horrified at the inhumanity & cruelty we witnessed during a vigil at DH. At 2:30p,approx 20 people were waiting to visit their loved ones. At around 2:45p ICE said “no visits”, citing our legal vigil ON PUBLIC SIDEWALK as reason.
