Good Monday morning!
It looks like Gov. Murphy’s veto threat had an effect, at least in the Assembly, where yet another attempt at marijuana clean-up legislation is moving. And while it hasn’t advanced in the Senate, the path to such an attempt doesn’t look closed off.
When President Joe Biden repealed
the “Muslim ban” on his first day in office, many celebrated the end of a policy that had divided families, derailed visas and uprooted lives.
The reality, however, is that the xenophobic sentiment that many saw in the travel ban remains a raging problem in the United States, according to Muslims in New Jersey.
