Credit: NJ Spotlight News Hudson County officials are hoping that the increase in funding for it prisoner reentry program will allow it to sever financial ties with ICE. A Hudson County program that helps inmates ease back into the community and address substance-abuse issues will receive $4 million more in state funds this year — more than double what it received last year. The $7 million for the Hudson County Pilot Reentry Program could also give the county the wherewithal to end a controversial agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under that deal, long-criticized by immigration advocates, the county rents jail space to the agency, which it uses to hold detainees.
