Cory Booker is saying one thing nationally on the campaign trail but doing something different at home in New Jersey.
Immigration and Custom Enforcement policies and promote
“To me, it highlights the pattern that power brokers in New Jersey just don’t have the politics of the Democratic base,” said Sue Altman, executive director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance. “That collision is a real thing, and Booker is living in that right now.” New Jersey, notorious for corruption and hardball politics, has long had a boss-driven political culture. Power brokers — some, like DiVincenzo, who are elected and some, like Norcross, who are not — run formidable “machines” with huge influence on public jobs and contracts.
At campaign events outside of New Jersey, Booker has decried ICE policies, saying they “don’t reflect our values” and has introduced legislation to block local authorities from partnering with ICE. He’s sworn off corporate PAC contributions and has talked about the “games” Wall Street played that created a “rigged system that hurt my community.”
“I believe that Booker wants to make sure that the funnel of money keeps coming through, and that’s why he’s supporting Joe [DiVincenzo] right now,” said Carrine Murphy, a paralegal who has been protesting the use of county jails to house ICE detainees. Anthony Puglisi, a spokesperson for Essex County, said the issues the inspector general found were immediately addressed. The DiVincenzo administration, he said, is taking steps to further improve conditions for inmates, including spending almost $600,000 on facility repairs, more than $300,000 on new food service positions, training and testing, and $50,000 on “to create an enhanced in-house inspection team to routinely review facility conditions and operations.
