WASHINGTON D.C.– Today, Senators Andy Kim and Cory Booker (both D-NJ) released the following statement in response to a raid carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Newark, NJ, resulting in the detention of multiple people.
“We are deeply concerned about the news of an ICE raid in Newark today. Our offices have reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to demand answers. Actions like this one sow fear in all of our communities — and our broken immigration system requires solutions, not fear tactics.
