Why New Jersey needs to act now:
- The Immigrant Trust Directive (ITD) is a temporary, limited solution that includes gaping loopholes, leading to continued cooperation with immigration enforcement agencies. From March 2019 - December 2019 alone, NJ's correctional facilities and local police departments cooperated with ICE over 1,700 times.
- New Jersey must include and honor the dignity of all its residents. New Jersey is home to 2,033,292 immigrants.
- When communities are unsafe for immigrants, they are more prone to emergencies, crises, and accidents.
- Arrest, detention, and deportation of family breadwinners lead to eviction, illness, and crises.
- NJ detention centers mirror ICE's nationwide atrocities -- by failing to provide medical care and basic living conditions, violating the basic human rights and dignity of people held inside, and retaliation through transfer and deportation.
