“After his Administration bragged about wanting to treat immigrants like ‘Amazon Prime,’ the latest development in Trump’s cruel anti-immigrant agenda is using massive warehouses for immigrant detention,” said Congressman Menendez. “I have personally witnessed abhorrent conditions at Delaney Hall, and the idea that this Administration wants to replicate them at an even bigger scale at warehouses not meant for human occupancy is horrific. By adding your voice to our initiative, we will send a clear message to the Trump Administration that New Jersey will not stand for this dehumanizing and cruel treatment of our neighbors in any community in our state.”
“ICE, in its actions around the country, has displayed an increasing dismissal of human rights. New Jersey at large, including the community of Roxbury, has rejected this as antithetical to the values of our great state,” said Congresswoman Watson Coleman. “The Trump administration's commitment to rewarding the private prison industry, the first megadonor to max-out to the President's political campaigns, has been made apparent. They value degradation, corruption, and absolute loyalty to Trump above all else. A concentration camp in Roxbury would be a symbol of this immorality. The people of New Jersey have said loud and clear, 'ICE is not welcome here.' This initiative will shout that declaration from New Jersey to the White House.”
“From Roxbury to Newark, Private Detention Centers have no place in New Jersey,” said Senator Kim. “These companies have shown they'd rather put their own profits over the care they're supposed to provide. We can’t risk more injuries, accidents, and chaos that puts our communities at risk. You deserve to have your voice heard as we hold these companies and the Trump Administration accountable, which is why I stand with my colleagues as we take action to protect those who call New Jersey home.”
“We want ICE out of New Jersey, not another massive detention center in our community. From Delaney Hall to facilities all across the country, ICE proven that they have no regard for due process or human dignity,” said Congresswoman McIver. “They skirt oversight and accountability, trying to hide brutal conditions of detention because they are unacceptable. Our community will reject this latest move by the Trump administration.”
“Converting an industrial facility in Roxbury Township into an ICE detention center is inhumane and deeply wrong. I strongly oppose this proposal, and I will fight any effort to turn our communities into sites of mass detention,” said Congressman Conaway Jr., MD “Similarly, I raised the alarm when there were proposals to use Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst as a migrant detention facility because our communities should not suffer from the administration’s blatant disregard for human life. The same principle applies in Roxbury. I will not stand by while federal officials attempt to expand a system that has already led to unsafe conditions, chaos, and harm.”
“Immigration enforcement must be carried out professionally, lawfully, and with fact-driven accountability — because no individual and no government agency is above the Constitution,” said Congressman Gottheimer. “We need clear, commonsense, enforceable guardrails for immigration enforcement — led with professionalism, the rule of law, and respect for human life.”
“From Minnesota to New Jersey, we’ve seen what happens when ICE comes into our communities. Just last week, there was an ICE raid in Lindenwold, and video online shows children running away in terror after learning ICE agents were nearby,” said Congressman Norcross. “Now there’s a proposal to turn a warehouse in Roxbury Township into another ICE detention center. It’s more of the same from Donald Trump, and his administration continues to set policies that fail to uphold the Constitution and lack transparency. We deserve honesty from our leaders, not operations carried out in the shadows that leave communities shaken. Today, I join my congressional colleagues in urging New Jerseyans to make their voices heard and respond to our survey. It’s going to take all of us speaking out to hold this administration accountable.”
“Our initiative is about giving New Jerseyans a voice before Trump turns a warehouse in Roxbury into a mass detention site for up to 1,500 people,” said Congressman Pallone. “Our communities should not wake up one day to find that human beings are being held in conditions designed for storage. We’ve seen the harm these facilities cause in New Jersey and across the country. If the Trump administration is moving forward with their plan to treat people like cargo, then the people of New Jersey deserve the chance to speak loudly and clearly before it happens.”
“The country has witnessed the Trump Administration’s efforts to target, detain, and deport members of our immigrant communities—and the chaos these actions have inflicted on our neighborhoods continues to grow each day,” said Congresswoman Pou. “That the Trump Administration is seeking to expand these failed and harmful policies by increasing immigrant detention facilities in New Jersey is unconscionable. Another ICE detention center is not welcome in our community. This initiative can amplify the voices of our constituents, many of whom have felt unheard and voiceless during this administration.”
Rep. Herb Conaway, Rep. Josh Gottheimer, Sen. Andy Kim, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Rep. Rob Menendez, Rep. Donald Norcross, Rep. Frank Pallone, Rep. Nellie Pou, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman“Immigration enforcement against child care workers not only impacts the child care sector but also risks second-order effects for American families’ employment. When child care is disrupted, many parents must cut work hours or leave the workforce altogether to care for children. One study estimated that, from February to July 2025 alone, the “doubling of ICE arrests led to about 77,000 fewer employed U.S.-born mothers.” Already, child care is one of the most burdensome expenses for American families. Nationwide, families spend an average of more than $13,000 each year on child care, and up to almost $30,000 in some states. And even when families can afford child care, these services are in short supply; more than half of parents report waiting months for available slots. Rather than making child care more affordable, President Trump has done the opposite by withholding billions of dollars in federal funding from child care providers, and rescinding protections meant to ensure that child care providers can stay afloat. Now, this Administration’s immigration agenda will exacerbate the child care crisis for American families, worsening child care workforce shortages, increasing child care prices, and driving Americans out of the workforce."

Meeks said. “Now is the time for the United States to stand with Jamaica. Granting TPS is not only an act of compassion but of solidarity – ensuring that those already here are not sent back into dangerous and unstable conditions.”
The Members wrote in the letter:
“Jamaica is currently confronting widespread devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. The storm has left countless residents without homes, electricity, clean water, or access to medical care. Roads and vital infrastructure have been destroyed, communities are struggling to recover, and the Government of Jamaica faces immense challenges in restoring essential services. Tens of thousands have been displaced, and recovery is expected to take months – if not years. Under these conditions, it would be unsafe and inhumane to require Jamaican nationals currently residing in the United States to return home.”

Rep. Herb Conaway, Rep. Donald Norcross“We condemn in the strongest possible terms the decision by the Trump Administration to use Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst as an immigrant detention center.

Despite the Trump Administration admitting Mr. Abrego Garcia’s removal was a mistake and the Supreme Court ordering the facilitation of his return, the Trump Administration has indicated repeatedly it does not intend to comply with the Supreme Court’s order and bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back to the United States. Mr. Abrego Garcia is a Maryland resident, living in Maryland’s Fourth Congressional District with his U.S. citizen wife and family.
