The Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders ended abruptly after just over an hour yesterday after four electeds left the meeting, opting not to listen to objections to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contract for the fourth session in a row.

The meeting, which started around 1 p.m., came to a close around roughly 2:15 p.m. – a far cry from the 12-and-a-half hour meeting last month where the ICE contract was renewed for up to a decade.
As usual, the freeholders moved through their agenda items swiftly and public comment began around 40 minutes, led by Jersey City resident Katia Oltmann.

“The Board may wish to hold a special meeting, or dedicate a regular meeting, in January 2021 to appoint Board members to fill these vacancies,” according to a memo obtained by HCV.
“This meeting may also be used to handle any other business impacted by the change in the election date and the resulting lack of a reorganization meeting in January 2021.”
On August 7th, 2019, the West New York Board of Commissioners unanimously approved (5-0) a measure to move their school board elections from November to April, which neighboring municipalities Weehawken and North Bergen already do.
