The fight between the Hudson County Freeholders and anti-ICE activists continues to escalate after four freeholders walked out of Tuesday’s public meeting.
Freeholder Anthony Vainieri, Caridad Rodriguez, Jerry Walker and Anthony Romano left in the middle of the meeting as speakers during the public comment portion continued to scold them for voting in favor of a 10-year contract that will allow U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to continue jailing immigrant detainees at Hudson County Jail.
