Trenton City Council delays vote on ICE cooperation ban after pushback on immigration detainers
Trenton City Council delayed a vote on a bill to prohibit police cooperation with ICE on immigration detainers after tensions arose during a meeting. Activists, including David Schraeger of Resistencia en Acción New Jersey, argued for banning detainer compliance without judicial warrants, while the American Immigration Council noted such compliance is voluntary. A person was arrested for refusing to leave the council chambers following the debate.
