Condemns Governor's support of Delaney Hall riots.

This Senate resolution condemns the Governor for allegedly supporting and politicizing the riots that occurred outside the Delaney Hall immigration detention facility in Newark. The bill asserts that the Governor downplayed the severity of the violence and the criminal histories of some detainees while simultaneously calling for the facility's closure. It further claims that state officials encouraged rioters by ordering local police to stand down and by visiting the site after being denied entry due to the unrest. Consequently, the resolution calls for a bipartisan, independent investigation into the actions of the Governor and the Mayor of Newark regarding their responses to the disturbances.
