Freedom for Immigrants is pleased to support bill number A5207/S3361 in New Jersey. We believe this bill will greatly improve life for many immigrants, their families, and communities not only in New Jersey but also in New York.
This bill will prohibit the signing of new, renewed or expanded detention contracts between federal immigration enforcement agencies and localities in New Jersey, including contracts with private prison companies. This bill will ensure that the state of New Jersey is no longer complicit in maintaining the abusive and profit driven detention system.
