Roxbury Detention Plan Reconsidered | Jersey News
About this episode
Federal officials are reconsidering plans for an immigration detention center in Roxbury, New Jersey, leading to renewed legal challenges from local leaders.
Federal officials are backtracking on their earlier decision to drop plans for an immigration detention center in Roxbury, New Jersey, reigniting a legal battle that had seemed won by local leaders. After briefly stepping away from the proposal — a move celebrated by the governor and township officials who called it inhumane and sued the government — DHS is now reconsidering the use of the massive Route 46 warehouse. The township, which had unanimously opposed the plan and joined New Jersey in court, vows to continue fighting, while federal officials argue opposition is an obstacle to national security. No decision date has been set, but the legal showdown is far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
