Ban considered on NJ prison contracts with ICE for detainees
TRENTON A state Senate panel heard arguments for and against prohibiting county and private correctional facilities from entering into agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain unauthorized immigrants.
The Senate Law & Public Safety announced before the debate, though, that it would delay an anticipated vote on the topic.
Four facilities have contracts to hold immigrant detainees in New Jersey for ICE: the Bergen, Essex and Hudson county jails and the Elizabeth Detention Center operated by CoreCivic Inc. The proposal would prohibit those contracts from being renewed and prevent any new, future contracts.

Jordan Perez, 26, of Jersey City, was charged yesterday with criminal attempted homicide, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, and certain persons not to possess a weapon, according to Police Det. Sgt. Jonathan Mecka.
Back on Saturday, December 19th, 2020, at approximately 12:45 a.m., Police Officers Frank Francolino and Leo Colon responded to 310 Jackson St., the Harrison Gardens, on a report of a disturbance.
When the officers arrived, they met with a man requesting an ambulance for a gunshot wound to his leg.
At that time, the victim was transported to a local hospital for the single gunshot wound to his leg, which was not considered life threatening.

Wrapping up the Kauffman killing
Reporter Annie McCormick dishes on her book about the SJ homicide
In my column last week, I interviewed Action News reporter Annie McCormick about how she chased the story of a murder-for-hire in South Jersey.
Her book, “The Doctor, the Hitman, and the Motorcycle Gang: The True Story of One of New Jersey’s Most Notorious Murder for Hire Plots,” is about the 2012 murder of April Kauffman, a popular radio personality and veterans advocate.
McCormick is an award-winning reporter who has covered crime in the Philadelphia area extensively for 6abc since 2012. Her book covers the sensational case of a wife who was murdered, and her husband, Dr. Jim Kauffman, who was later charged with hiring someone to kill her. Kauffman, a noted endocrinologist, was also suspected of Medicare fraud and of operating a “pill mill” with outlaw bikers.
