The race for America's worst governor rages on.
Taxpayer dollars? For legal fees? For illegal aliens?
From the New Jersey government website:
Governor Mikie Sherrill and leaders in the New Jersey Legislature announced a $12 million increase in funding for the Detention Deportation Defense Initiative (DDDI), bringing the total funding for the program to $20.2 million.
Additionally, in coordination with Human Services Commissioner Stephen Cha, Governor Sherrill announced a coordinated Rapid Legal Response Initiative led by Human Services' Office of New Americans (ONA) to expand statewide legal capacity for emergency immigration defense and support immigrant families across New Jersey.
As the Trump Administration's escalating attacks on immigrants have affected longtime residents, families, and vulnerable children, these announcements represent Governor Sherrill's ongoing commitment to securing the rights of immigrants facing detention and deportation by Immig
ration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
