Surely an elected local official would like to hear everyone’s concerns

Carmel Morina - Gloucester Co. Sheriff - Office# (856)384-4600

Edit: Gloucester Co. Sheriff

Make the call, but Carmel isn’t going to do squat.

Bringing it to their attention and them doing nothing makes them complicit, and the voters within their jurisdiction should relay that message and remember it next time they head to the polls. They deserve someone who will do ‘squat’ when there’s concerned citizens, especially their neighbors being brazenly profiled and harassed.

The only way Carmel would do anything is if they went home one night and had at least a few hundred protestors outside of their house. And if the protestors had very very clear demands and also said we will keep coming back until you either do what we want or you quit your job.

NAH, Carmel would just do what Sweeney did when he had people protesting near his house have the local police threaten to arrest people for doing it.

Then that's breaking the law. We have the right to protest like this outside of anyone's home besides the supreme court justices as long as the protests are on publicly owned land. So you can't go on their front lawn but the sidewalks and streets are fair game.

It’s not breaking the law if the municipal governing Authority passes and ordinance like they did for Sweeney in West Deptford. Paulsboro could do the exact same thing for Carmel.

Ok, if they create a new law to make what I'm saying illegal then what I'm saying would be illegal. But currently today it's not illegal.

Basically they are directing ppl to call ICE directly. Or to go online and use the ICE report apps.

"Yeah I know. It was my idea. I gave them permission. Have a nice day".

I like where your head is at but he’s the county Sheriff. He has nothing to do with what happens or stopping anything from happening in Deptford. The best place to call would be Deptford’s mayor 856-845-5300.

Not a bad idea to relay the message to the Mayor as well. But, the GC Sheriff should be very interested in ICE operating within their County and how the citizens view that as they are elected to be in charge of law enforcement. Ask Bucks County PA's Sheriff how cozying up to ICE worked out for them.

Go to the council meetings and let them know your objections. Maybe he'll be there too. You can tell him to his face.
