Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : " "Earlier this month, I joined my colleagues to inspect the treatment of ICE detainees at Delaney Hall in my district," McIver said in a statement.
50% : " Earlier that day, the mayor came to Delaney Hall, as he had two other days that week and again last week, to serve ICE with violation notices from the city of Newark.
43% : The notices allege the Geo Group, which is contracted by ICE to operate the 1,000-bed facility, was refusing city officials entry to the facility and improperly padlocking the front gate.
37% : The charges against me are purely political -- they mischaracterize and distort my actions, and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight.
