Our statement on Newark's Delaney Hall:
Delaney Hall is a stain on New Jersey and a stain on the country.
What’s happening inside the facility to our immigrant neighbors is cruel and unconstitutional.
What’s happening outside the facility is also a disgrace.
And Gov. Mikie Sherrill was denied entry to view the conditions.
We proudly stand with the detainees on hunger strike, their friends and families, and the elected officials who are showing up on behalf of all of New Jersey's residents.
Early voting for New Jersey’s Primary Elections starts today, 5/26 until Sunday, 5/31.

Summer TAG isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.
Summer TAG was created because it was recommended by the State’s own TAG Study Commission.
Over 11,000 NJ students used Summer TAG in its first year alone.
njspotlightnews.org/2026/05/…
Research showed that summer aid helps low- and moderate-income students stay enrolled, graduate faster, avoid taking on additional debt and earn higher wages long-term.
