“In light of Essex County’s movement to try to get out of their ICE [contract], it’s making me change my tune on how we want to stand on this as a county, and where we go from here,” Board Chair Anthony Vainieri (D-8) said about 45 minutes into the meeting.
“I’m open to suggestions, I’m open to speaking with the county executive’s administration and our federal representatives … to find a path to exit … I’m looking to try to mirror Essex County.”
Vainieri’s comments are similar to what he told several media outlets including HCV after Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo announced plans to get out of their ICE deal by taking inmates from Union County, whose jail operations are mostly closing in the coming months.

The off the line county committee candidates were mostly recruited by two groups: the Progressive Democrats of Hudson County and the Hudson County Progressive Alliance.
The former organization has 22 candidates running, 19 of whom are competing in Jersey City (along with two in Hoboken and one in North Bergen), as they revealed in an announcement yesterday.
“Our commitment to justice requires enabling an atmosphere that is truly inclusive of working people and of those who have been looked over and left out by traditional politics,” PDHC Continuing Political Committee Treasurer Brad Londin said in a statement.
