🎉 It's a Zine Party, rooted in immigrant justice! ✨Join us and JC Print Room for a night of creativity and advocacy. We’ll be making zines that explain recent immigration policies, and showcase our collective vision of an ICE-free NJ💥 📝RSVP: bit.ly/zine-party

Let’s be honest…yesterday’s federal court decision overturning New Jersey’s ban on private ICE jails seems a little…. Daunting 🫤 ⁉️Like… How did we get here? What did the ruling decide? What happens next? 🗣️ NJAIJ’s very own, Madison and Viri, are here to break it all down!

🚨‼️3RD CIRCUIT FEDERAL COURT OVERTURNS NJ DETENTION BAN This decision allows for private prison companies to continue doing business in NJ, overriding our state values. But let’s be clear, IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE 💥MASS RALLY AT ELIZABETH DETENTION CENTER, TODAY @ 3:30 PM #njforall

🚨 ICYMI: While we were responding to the Birthright Citizenship decision, the Trump Administration terminated Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants - one of the largest immigrant populations in New Jersey. Shame, shame, shame. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/TPS-explainer

📣 THE SCOTUS DECISION ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: 🚨 In today's decision allowing President Trump's Executive Order ending Birthright Citizenship to take effect, the Supreme Court paved the way for mass exclusion and generational harm. Learn more: 🔗 bit.ly/BirthrightCi...

📍 NOW AT THE MULBERRY COMMONS 🌳 We’re joining Project for Empty Space for the Newark Grounds Community Picnic — and showcasing the brand new #ImmigrantHeritageMonth designs by the incredible artist @layqa.bsky.social.

🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨 We’re outside Newark federal court as Congresswoman McIver faces arraignment at 10AM. She stood up for our communities—now we’re showing up for her. Drop the charges! #JusticeForMcIver

DROP ALL THE CHARGES! DROP ALL THE CHARGES! DROP ALL THE CHARGES!

Faith leaders lifting us in prayer: “This is sacred resistance.” #JusticeForMcIver

It’s hot because NEWARK is bringing the HEAT! We are ALL OUT for @replamonica.bsky.social at her arraignment. We are opening with words of faith in justice and resolve toward collective victory. For @replamonica.bsky.social and all people targeted by ICE.

📣 Happening today! 📣 Join us at 5:30PM for updates on detention expansion in New Jersey, courthouse arrests, and more ⬇️ 🔗 bit.ly/NJMASSCALL 🔗

💥 ALL OUT FOR REP MCIVER 💥 Across the country, the Trump Admin. is using political and legal retaliation to silence leaders. That includes our very own @replamonica.bsky.social. Tomorrow, come out and support Rep. McIver at her arraignment, and prove that New Jersey stands by its own.

Extreme heat affects everybody. But it's immigrant workers and farmworkers that are most vulnerable to these dangerous conditions – that's why there's no #NJforALL without heat protections for workers. Stay safe. Stay hydrated.

New Jersey needs a budget that invests in ALL New Jerseyans - that means funding for... ⚖️ DDDI and legal services for unaccompanied minors; 💬 Language Access implementation (check out njaij.org/languageaccess to learn more!) ⚕️ CoverAllKids!

🎥NOW: To close out #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, we are speaking up for #LanguageAccess. We are live at SPAN Advocacy to launch AAPI New Jersey’s report on @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social’s Language Access Law. njaij.org/languageaccess

🚨 Anti-immigrant moves by the Trump Administration are affecting communities everywhere – and right here in NJ. Join our Mass Movement Call to get updates on detention expansion, federal overreach, and more – and learn how it all ties together. 🗓️ 6/16 ⏰ 5-7PM 🔗 bit.ly/NJMASSCALL

‼️ALL OUT FOR @replamonica.bsky.social MCIVER‼️ Across the country, we are witnessing powerful politicians subject to retaliatory arrests and charges. 📍Join us in NEWARK @ 9:30 6/25 to stand w/ Rep McIver before her arraignment. NJ won't be silenced. Turn out, speak up, fight back!

Remind you of anything? New Jersey was ground zero. Like NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, @rasjbaraka.bsky.social and @replamonica.bsky.social were doing their jobs to ensure their constituents' safety at Delaney Hall, which we now know was compromised by the inhumane conditions. njaij.org/eyesonice

🚨“No one really knows what the true picture is on the inside, which is really scary. That’s why so many people have shown up—we know ICE has a habit of lying.” - @amytorres.bsky.social via @taylorjung.bsky.social This lack of transparency isn't just deeply concerning – it's DANGEROUS. #FreeThemAll

🚨 Transferring folks out of Delaney Hall and into even farther detention centers will stall their due process and make it harder for their families and attorneys to reach them. That's why we're calling Congress to demand #ReleasesNotTransfers – and you can, too.

🚨 ICE is targeting Black and Brown folks regardless of status. Why? Because the mass detention and deportation machine is not about protecting anyone, but rather maintaining white supremacy. None of us is safe until all of us are safe. We need the #ImmigrantTrustAct NOW.

📣 CALL TO ACTION: RELEASES, NOT TRANSFERS 💥 ICE is moving to transfer ALL community members inside Delaney Hall out of the facility in the next 24 hours 🚨 This will delay their due process and separate them from their families. We need YOU to raise your voice. 🧵

NOW: @andykimnj.bsky.social @menendez.house.gov leave #DelaneyHall, confirming reports of food shortages, bad water, and substandard conditions. They said an exterior wall was made of mesh and drywall and crumbled under pressure from people inside, leading to the purported escape.

🚨 ICYMI: Last night, we were at Delaney Hall, standing up for folks in detention without regular meals, visitation, or care. DHS is saying they "rioted" – but we could smell the pepper spray the guards used against them from the parking lot outside. Solidarity with folks in #DelaneyHall.

If this is how they're treating a sitting Senator, how are they treating everyday Los Angelinos? Oh, wait. We know how.

One in three New Jersey households speaks a language other than English at home. There are over 155 languages spoken in the state. 🗳️ There's no #VotingRightsForALL without language access policies designed for electoral participation 🗳️ How do we get there? The #NJVEA 💥

@replamonica.bsky.social was doing her job: ensuring the safety of her constituents inside an ICE jail located in the middle of a chemical corridor. 🚨 The indictment against her is an attack on one of our most powerful leaders 🚨 And in New Jersey, we defend each other. www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

TOMORROW: From Rep. McIver's indictment to the upcoming #NoKingsDay rally, there's a LOT going on. But our movement sticks together no matter what. Join @maketheroadnj.bsky.social to fight back against detention expansion in Union County, and tell Union County Commissioners: #ICEoutofNJ NOW.

The polls are open until 8PM, and if you think that your vote will not affect immigrant New Jerseyans, consider this: The Immigrant Trust Directive is not law. It's policy. That means the next Governor can revoke it at a moment's notice, leaving our communities at risk. 🧵

💥 Get out the vote – and then get ready to go out into the streets and join our powerful coalition to say: 🚫 NO Kings, 🚫 NO ICE jails, 🚫 NO corruption, abuse of power, or corporate greed. See you Saturday, Newark.

🚨 Anti-immigrant moves by the Trump Admin. are affecting communities everywhere – and right here in NJ. Join our Mass Movement Call to get updates on detention expansion, federal overreach, our fight back, and more – and learn how it all ties together. 🗓️ June 16th ⏰ 5-7PM 🔗 bit.ly/NJMASSCALL

🚨 The new travel ban is in effect today. Trump's white supremacist agenda means that countless New Jerseyans are separated from their loved ones in a time of humanitarian crises. Stand up against anti-immigrant policy and rhetoric on 6/14 at our #NoKingsDay rally in Newark 🧵

Vans pulled into Delaney Hall ICE Ctr (Newark NJ) all afternoon. Families waited in downpour to get in. It's bad- a driver getting a Geo worker told us to be careful of the #ICEGestapo- his words, not mine. Conditions worse than prison per lawyers. @njaij.bsky.social @actiontogethernj.bsky.social

Los Angeles is the example. ICE will violate your rights, ICE will arrest and harm you, ICE will break the law, ICE will use violence. Your citizenship status does not matter. ICE is the problem.

📣 TRUMP'S TPS REVOCATION Hundreds of thousands of immigrants were protected by TPS. Now, the Supreme Court is allowing Trump to revoke it, leaving many community members defenseless against the detention and deportation machine. Take action NOW to defend our communities. 🔗 njaij.org/ita_action

"Deportation is not inevitable. Right now, New Jersey legislators have the opportunity to pass a bill that would protect New Jerseyans regardless of status. It's called the #ImmigrantTrustAct." - Steven Sacco, immigration attorney w/ AFSC 💥 njaij.org/ita_action www.northjersey.com/story/opinio...

📍 TRENTON – After months of "wait and see," we're here to say: Sen. Pres. Scutari, @speakercoughlin.bsky.social, your time is up. Immigrant New Jerseyans are under attack – that means that our State needs to step up the fight and pass the #ImmigrantTrustAct. njaij.org/ITA-action

🚨 ICYMI: Yesterday, Trump imposed a brand-new travel ban targeting 19 Muslim-majority, African, Asian, and Caribbean nations. Make no mistake: this move will have a profound impact on immigrant New Jerseyans. The time for silent complicity is over. We must fight back. www.njaij.org/2025_travel_...

@pabloreports.bsky.social: a coalition of 252 organizations tells the Senate to vote NO on H.R. 1, which will strip our communities of care, feed the mass deportation machine, and enrich ICE profiteers like GEO Group and CoreCivic. And we're one of them! migrantinsider.com/p/exclusive-...

Remember: no matter how court-tested the Immigrant Trust Directive is, it can disappear in a blink of an eye if it's rescinded by our next Governor. That means that we need to pass the #ImmigrantTrustAct and ensure that our communities are protected by law, not just policy.

📢 NO KINGS DAY NEWARK On June 14th, movements across the country are taking to the streets to protest the Trump Administration's egregious abuses of power. Join NJAIJ and People's Organization for Progress to rally in New Jersey's largest and most diverse city: Newark. 🔗 bit.ly/NoKingsNewark

🚨 This is what mass deportation looks like: family separation and livelihoods at stake. As more and more community members face ICE abuse, detention, and the threat of deportation, immigrant New Jerseyans need ALL the protections we can get. We need the #ImmigrantTrustAct NOW.

The @newjerseyoag.bsky.social's job is defending the state and its people. NOT intervening with the legislature's work. 📰 via @danieljhan.bsky.social: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

🚨 As the Trump Admin. weaponizes the personal data of our communities, the NJ Legislature must pass the #ImmigrantTrustAct and protect the privacy of New Jersey families at schools, libraries, and DMVs. @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social, the time to act is NOW. 🔗 Take action: njaij.org/ita_action

🚨 This is yet another example of New Jersey serving as a blueprint for the Trump Administration's abuse of power: First it was the New Jersey Four. Now, it's elected leaders everywhere. But our movement won't be intimidated. We have #PeoplePower. Tell Congress: njaij.org/eyesonice

NEW: I wrote for @wagingnonviolence.org about how New Jersey’s immigrant rights movement is pulling from years of experience and a wide range of organizations to fight the Delaney Hall ICE detention center. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/05/new-...

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

As ICE pushes for more daily arrests, it's important for community members to #KnowYourRights. Remember: 📄 ICE needs a JUDICIAL warrant to enter your home; 🗣️ You have the right to remain SILENT and speak to an attorney; 🚫 DON'T sign anything, lie, or show false documents. 🔗 More: njaij.org/kyr

🚨 ICYMI: DHS releases list of sanctuary jurisdictions, including 18 New Jersey municipalities and 3 counties. They think our State is that easy to intimidate. New Jersey, let's prove them wrong. Stand up, FIGHT BACK. 🔗 Our statement: www.njaij.org/department_o...

New Jersey: let’s make one thing clear. 💥This is a hollow attempt at intimidation and nothing more.💥 Sanctuary policies already comply with federal law. A change in immigration law does not change the U.S. Constitution. Our full statement: www.njaij.org/department_o...
