New Jersey Governor Sherrill expressed strong dissatisfaction after being granted only a "closely controlled and limited tour" of Delaney Hall, where she was denied direct access to detainees.
The Governor highlighted that the inability to speak with detainees "continues to raise serious questions about the real conditions of the facility and the treatment of those held there." She affirmed her commitment to push for direct interaction with detainees, stating they "deserve to be heard and the public deserves answers."
Governor Sherrill pledged to continue advocating for "full transparency and accountability from ICE," alongside advocates and federal delegation members. Her efforts include securing Department of Health inspections via a lawsuit, halting a proposed Roxbury detention facility, and fighting to prevent law enforcement from concealing identities. She ultimately aims for "humane treatment at Delaney Hall" and its closure.
