And Gov. Sherrill is hearing from hundreds of NJ citizens who want her to direct a similar suit for Roxbury.

In case you are unfamiliar with that case, a large warehouse in Roxbury, NJ that is unoccupied was sold by its owner to ICE. There has been strenuous opposition but they sneaked the sale through. The irony is that the owner of the warehouse should have been sympathetic to the cause of the protestors, having been a Romanian Jew whose family died in the Holocaust. Instead he sold it for double the asking price.

The protesters are not stopping. I believe the last protest drew over 2000 people. The protests are ongoing, but increase in size on the weekends.

The blueprints ICE has for the concentration camp show no place for any of the prisoners to visit with a lawyer. Nope, not a desk, not a room, nothing. There is a court decision that says they have to provide this. Can you imagine how much space they'd have to hand over to lawyers/clients in a warehouse this size?
