Kilmar was unlawfully deported, and now we know the government tried to cover it up. They floated false gang ties to justify the harm they caused. New @nytimes.com reporting reveals the truth. #JusticeforKilmar #BringKilmarHome #DueProcess @casaforall.bsky.social bit.ly/43wCL6t

Billions $ to feed the Trump admin's mass deportation while gutting crucial programs from New Jersey families like basic health care & food assistance to children -- this is not what America should stand for. We urge Senate members to stop this dangerous bill NOW!

📍NOW: House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight is will begin hearing on “Examining Threats to ICE Operations.” Let’s be clear: this is a distraction from about the abuses inside ICE jails. For doing her job to demand accountability, @replamonica.bsky.social has been treated as a “threat.”

Temp workers have always been the backbone of New Jersey’s economy. Now, lawmakers are trying to gut the Temp Workers’ Bill of Rights—a hard-won law that ensures dignity, fair pay & fundamental protections on the job. We won’t let them undo decades of organizing. #ProtectTempWorkers
