DHS Debunks New Jersey Sanctuary Politicians’ Smears Against ICE Facility

Instead of cooperating with our ICE law enforcement to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens, these sanctuary politicians continue to peddle falsehoods about ICE facilities

WASHINGTON - New Jersey sanctuary politicians - including Governor Mikie Sherrill, Senator Cory Booker, Senator Andy Kim, Rep. Rob Menendez, Rep. Nellie Pou, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Rep. Frank Pallone, and Rep. Analilia Majia - chose to spend their Memorial Day weekend spreading smears about ICE law enforcement and the Delaney Hall ICE facility in New Jersey.

The facts are all detainees are provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, and toiletries. Illegal aliens also have access to phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Certified dieticians evaluate meals. In fact, ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens.

It is a longstanding practice to provide comprehensive medical care from the moment an alien enters ICE custody. This includes medical, dental, and mental health services as available, and access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care. For many illegal aliens, this is the best healthcare they have received their entire lives.

"This is nothing more than a political stunt by New Jersey sanctuary politicians for fundraising clicks. There is NO hunger strike at Delaney Hall. There are NO subprime conditions or abuse at the facility," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "These sanctuary politicians should be thanking ICE law enforcement for removing murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and drug traffickers from their communities. We need these sanctuary politicians to stop peddling this garbage and cooperate with us to get these criminals out of their state. These types of smears are contributing to our officers facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they remove the worst of the worst."
