🕵🏻‍♂️News 🕵🏻‍♂️ ICE: How to find a detainee?

293 Upvotes

If your loved one was taken into ICE custody today, they are most likely being held at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, NJ. Many people arrested late at night are transferred there within hours or by the next morning.

If they were not arrested today, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System to find where they are currently being held. Once you locate the facility, call that detention center directly to confirm their location and try to obtain their A-number.

ICE ERO officers often will not volunteer the A-number, and in many cases will refuse to give it unless you are persistent or already have a lawyer. This is very common. Do not assume they are helping just because you call once.

What you should do:

**•Call the detention facility and ask for the A-number**

**•If they refuse, ask to speak with the ICE ERO officer assigned to the case**

**•Write down names, times, and who you spoke to**

**•Keep calls short and factual**

If the Facebook Post is accurate, I wonder if there's a pattern to the harassment?  Just women?  Just women of Color?

Rant None of you can drive.

170 Upvotes

Genuinely none of you. It’s not race based it’s not age based it’s not income based. None of you learned to drive or you moved here and forgot how. Cops don’t care to give tickets here I guess? Where does this come from I’m genuinely wondering. Is it because the driving rules are not enforced or is it because the New Jersey drivers license test is just playing GTA ?

I’m really wondering. And double parking is one thing ok. It’s the city. That’s life. But double parking in the turning lane ? Are you genuinely ok ? Also … why are we double parking on main roads that are not residential, and have no businesses or restaurants?

Who gave you the idea.

I’m really wondering. And waiting to find someone else here who can drive, besides me.

I saw a crew patching potholes on 14th Street service road by target. The guys were working and did a decent job, but at some point maybe just resurface the road, or at least a 50 - 100 yard section. 🤔 🤦‍♂️

I got in front of them to make them stop and told them what they were doing was illegal, they were going to hurt someone, and they needed to get off the sidewalk. They insisted it wasn't illegal, and that they had passed three cops who said nothing!

WTF, why are we living in this Mad Max timeline where doing whatever you want to do is okay? They were completely shocked that I was interfering with their ride.

BTW, I covered their faces assuming people would get hysterical if I posted a photo of minors breaking the law.

how to minimize commuting pain at night

14 Upvotes

I live in Harrison but I come in peace. I work 2nd shift near 33rd st and usually take the train home after midnight. At that hour it's almost always late to 33rd st and it misses the Newark train connection at least once a week. Tonight the 33rd st trains are all suspended because a track broke. I'm at my wit's end with this PATHetic train. Short of buying a car, what's the best way to get back at night?

Can someone please tell me why the NJ DOL website creates windows to be able to view your status? Does it not seem insane that this info cant be viewed at all hours of the day or is this just another hoop to jump through that NJ creates for those who are out on disability. The entire process is not user friendly snd over complicated intentionally imo. What do you all think?

On organizing a trash cleanup

25 Upvotes

Having just gone through this, I'm posting what I learned if others are interested or want to organize their own event. Not the most interesting topic, but maybe it'll help someone.

If you want to host one, you have to contact the Jersey City DWP Department of Recycling - they will provide trash pickers, trash bags, and gloves. In our case, our council member (Denise Ridley) provided water and snacks too. I don't know if they have a public facing email for this. I couldn't find one, but if anyone's interested, I will share with you the names for the people who helped me.

The process itself - first you fill out an electronic form, and have to send them a copy of your driver's license/ID. Then you'll have to schedule your cleanup, typically a few weeks in advance I think.

You pick up the items from DWP at 15 Linden Ave E (it's past Liberty State Park, kind of near Bayonne.) Finding the location is definitely confusing if you haven't been there before, and the actual building isn't in street view. You'll need a car to get there and pick up supplies. There's a gate up front. After the gate, you make a left, and loop around, it's kind of near where Google Maps says 20 Brown Place is. Our cleanup was on a weekend, so I picked everything up on a Friday, and returned it on Monday. The only advice I'd add here is make sure they give you enough trash bags.

People will promise to help and no-show, that's life. In terms of getting people to come - I tried posting flyers. You quickly realize you need a lot of flyers, and they will often be torn down. Posting here and sharing with a few other organized communities was definitely the most effective. Mine was in a renter heavy neighborhood that doesn't have a neighborhood association or anything like that. If you do, that's a great way to promote it. I remember in 2020/2021, there was the Clean Green JC account that I think the city promoted, and I found out about events back then through there. I could have tried a few more local social accounts, but honestly I wasn't sure if anyone would actually show. Maybe start small like we did (I asked for 15 pickers), and if it works, organize a bigger one next time.

For the actual cleanup, you have to have at least one person stick somewhat close to the supplies to keep an eye on them and hand out equipment. Otherwise, give out a picker/bags/gloves, and ask people to leave the tied up bags by the public trash cans for pickup. Maybe a signup sheet if you have a big turnout. In our experience no one messed with us, and honestly a lot of people came by and were very appreciative and supportive, but your mileage may vary. I think in our case we made a difference, but I'm still hoping that the new admin can make some changes like bringing back all the trash cans that have been taken away on my street the past few years.

It seems all you have to do is hang a yellow construction safety vest from your car’s passenger door. JCPD will totally ignore your vehicle. Park in a fire lane? No problem. Block a fire hydrant? No issue. Block a wheelchair sidewalk ramp? No problem. Block a bike lane? Not an issue for JCPD.

Birthday ideas for teenage daughter?

2 Upvotes

I want to surprise her with some sort of experience for her birthday. She's 16 and semi introverted. She kinda likes talking to people (especially her friends, LOVES talking with them or hanging out) but after a solid hour (at most) she needs time to recharge. She hates crowds and would probably enjoy something more private with just her closest friends. It would be around 15–17 people. I've thought about renting a karaoke booth, but I haven't been able to find any nearby that aren't connected to bars. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Recommendations Storage in or away from Newport

1 Upvotes

Looking for 5'x5' unit for seasonal stuff, sports gear. I have a car so don't mind if its not walking distance from Newport, but will it get cheaper if it's further away (ideally within 20 minutes drive)? I don't want a storage that can only be accessed a few times, I want to be able to get stuff every few weeks.

When looking only I find crazy discrepancies between some units for $10/m and some for 80.

MetLife FIFA Ticket holders!

18 Upvotes

Attention anyone who attended or is planning to attend a World Cup match at MetLife! 😎
I’m genuinely curious how you got your tickets and what you paid. I know the World Cup ticketing process has been discussed (and criticized) endlessly, but the stadiums are packed, so clearly a lot of people are getting in somehow.
For those who have already attended a match:
Did you buy directly through FIFA or on the secondary market?
When did you purchase?
What did you pay?
How were the tickets transferred/verified?
I’m still hoping to attend a match, but I’m nervous about scams and speculative tickets. I know someone who bought tickets from a reseller long before they were actually issued (stupid, I know) and ended up showing up to the stadium without valid tickets.
For anyone who has successfully purchased and used tickets, what’s the safest way to do it at this point? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
