JERSEY CITY, NJ The American Civil Liberties Union s New Jersey branch filed a case on Monday against Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise and five county commissioners claiming they violated protesters First Amendment rights with a temporary restraining order.
The restraining order was filed in December following a protest that took place in front of DeGise s home on New York Avenue in Jersey City and was cited in the Dec. 8th arrest of four protesters gathered in DeGise s neighborhood. The ACLU claims the protesters were in compliance with local noise ordinances and that the arrest was a violation of their First Amendment rights.

New Jersey’s Supreme Court ruled unanimously Tuesday that a police department’s policy toward female officers who sought lighter workloads while pregnant violated state law.
Office Kathleen Delanoy alleged in a lawsuit that the Ocean Township police department’s maternity policy violated New Jersey’s Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which took effect in 2014 and strengthened protections for pregnant women in the workplace.
OCEAN TOWNSHIP (Monmouth) The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously Tuesday that a police department’s policy toward female officers who sought lighter workloads while pregnant violated state law.
Office Kathleen Delanoy alleged in a lawsuit that the police department’s maternity policy violated New Jersey’s Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which took effect in 2014 and strengthened protections for pregnant women in the workplace.
Delanoy said injured officers who sought lighter work assignments were treated more favorably than pregnant officers seeking the same accommodation. For example, she said, the department s chief had discretion to waive a requirement for injured officers to use up accumulated leave time while on temporary assignment, while pregnant officers weren t afforded the same option.
