MAPLEWOOD, NJ - The Essex County Freeholders called for the ouster of the New Jersey Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson but have not budged on ending its controversial contract with the agency.

At its Wednesday meeting in Maplewood, the freeholders board passed a resolution supporting other lawmakers who have called for Emilio Karim Dabul to be terminated from his position as ICE spokesperson. Dabul has publicly defended people who the Southern Poverty Law Center have labeled anti-Muslim.

Dabul referred questions to ICE headquarters in Washington D.C. A spokesperson from headquarters responded with a brief statement, which included a link to a Politico article examining the Southern Poverty Law Center’s marketing and financial practices.

Isn’t Maplewood where they just had a home invasion rape by an illegal alien?

New Jersey does not get to decide anything about ICE, it is a federal agency.

Is that so? The guy was obviously Muslim, but I hadn't heard whether he was illegal or a local convert.

Yes.

Maplewood is Brooklyn West.

All of the nice white liberals move from expensive Brooklyn to expensive Essex County to make it more expensive, while decrying inequality and white privilege.

Nice homes, nice streets, but too expensive to live in.
