AG Davenport announced that New Jersey and the Township of Roxbury are jointly suing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to halt their illegal plan to convert a vacant warehouse into a large-scale immigration detention facility. ICE plans to convert and operate a detention center without addressing serious State and local concerns about water, sewage, and public safety, accounting for the site’s sensitive environment, or considering if this warehouse is an appropriate place for detention.
