Watson Coleman Rejects Plans to Bring ICE Detention Center to Trenton
Today, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) released a statement in response to news that Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to open a new detention center at the former Albert M. “Bo” Robinson Treatment Center in Trenton.
“The recent news that ICE is planning to use Trenton as a staging ground for mass deportations is infuriating. As a historic crossroads of the American Revolution, Trenton has a long legacy of resisting tyranny and oppression. New Jersey has always been a home for freedom-loving people working hard to make the best possible life for their families.
“Immigrant Americans move here for the promise of freedoms that we all – Black or white, Latino or Asian, Native or newcomer, cherish. But today, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans stoke fear against new immigrants to distract us from their agenda, which threatens to raise prices, make cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and let corporations gouge prices.
“By joining together once again, we can reject moves like this that do nothing for everyday people and merely scapegoat those seeking to live the American Dream. New Jerseyans have worked hard to create a safe and welcoming state where anyone who works hard to create a better life can call home.
“This proposal is unacceptable and runs counter to New Jersey values. I reject it and call on community leaders, the Governor, and President Biden to reject it and get to work on creating a fair immigration process that respects all families.”
These Democrats are so out of touch with the people and haven’t learned a THING from the 2024 election! 78% percent of the LEGAL citizens across the ethnic board support mass deportation! If this leftist hack wasn’t in an extremely safe district, she’d be booted OUT!
All illegals should go. Can you park lately can you get a good night’s sleep. How much money have you received as of late. All these illegals who a get these folks “gone”.re here illegally should not be here. The Biden Harris regime allowed this and everyone knows it. Ms. Watson should get them gone. It was already bad enough before them.
illegals over americans demos slogan
Insider info:Bo Robinson Center should have been condemned once it was emptied. When it rained outside,it poured inside,not to mention the many other deficiencies in that building. Trenton needs that like another hole in its head!!
They drive those loud cars fly up and down the street. It’s horrible
Political mole ,padded her pockets gave family all good jobs,did nothing for Trenton.They would say Kamala was stupid but she was a prosecutor past bar exam Mrs Coleman 😂😂😂 a NJ State working and got promotions threw her father .She can’t write a bill to be passed shes done nothing for Trenton just family friends got jobs to gouge money from taxpayers .Bonnie took the money and ran.
Wow. This woman is woefully out of sync with the electorate.
Sure, keep doubling down on this.
where do you live? Bet it is not where all the illegals have been moved to in NJ…the citizens of our country have a right to be protected…crime against our citizens have definitely gone up…NJ should not be a sanctuary state .
You need to go live where these illegals have moved into and maybe that might change your perception.
