“They should treat us in a better way...The only crime we have committed is being undocumented immigrants with the desire to help our families...[we will] continue with the strike until ICE...lets us be with our children.”

Welcome to what will probably be a *very* long livetweet of the @HudCoTweet board of freeholders meeting in which they will decide whether to authorize the county executive to renew the county jail's contract with ICE.
At 1pm on a Tuesday, two days before Thanksgiving.

Thread. A 10 hour meeting about an ICE detention center...still going. Watching.
Dems in Hudson County, NJ, are meeting NOW & appear ready to renew an ICE contract to detain immigrants for as long as 10 yrs. 75-plus people plan to speak, likely almost all against the contract. In 2018, same freeholders voted to end contract by 2020.1/ zoom.us/j/91553925879
