Activists and elected leaders teamed up to hold a rally against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) outside the Hudson County Correctional Facility in Kearny this evening.
“Defund hate, defund fear, immigrants are welcome here!” was one of several chants that rang out in front of the county jail, located at 30-35 Hackensack Ave., this afternoon.
The Hudson County Board of Commissioners (technically still freeholders) extended their deal with ICE for up to another decade at their November 24th meeting after over 10 hours of public comment, the majority of which was spent listen to the public speak out against it.
