“Public service – holding the public trust – is a privilege, not a right. … [Caldwell] engaged in serious, repeated violations of state policy and failed to uphold the responsibilities of his office. … He submitted his resignation to me this afternoon, which I accepted. … There has been a culture in Trenton, probably since the birth of our nation, to sweep this under the rug. That is not the kind of government I'm running.

“I continue to stand with my friend LaMonica.
“This is a terrible decision from Trump's Supreme Court. States run elections, not Donald Trump.
“I am deeply disturbed to hear of a detainee death inside Delaney Hall this weekend. Every effort to block oversight raises serious questions about what is happening inside Delaney Hall. This tragedy is another painful reminder of why Delaney Hall should be closed.
“We are grateful that a federal court has once again agreed that the Trump Administration’s decision to freeze billions of dollars in grants for the Gateway Tunnel Project is flagrantly unlawful. This is the most important infrastructure project in the nation, and thanks to our litigation, 1,000 people are back on the job and construction continues every day. This victory sends a clear message: the Trump Administration’s attempt to halt Gateway funding will not stand.
“My request for access to Delaney Hall was formally denied this morning, raising serious questions about what they are trying to hide from public view. I have long opposed private detention facilities and will continue to advocate for the closure of Delaney Hall and against any expansion of mass detention facilities in New Jersey, like the proposed facility in Roxbury.
