WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ-01) released a statement on the ICE operations in Lindenwold. 

“I am outraged by reports coming out about the ICE operation in Lindenwold yesterday. Their tactics and lack of transparency have instilled fear in the community and have put children in harm's way. Schoolchildren are not criminals, and enforcement actions must reflect that.  

“It is extremely concerning that 911 was called. No federal agency is above the law and any effort to undermine constitutional rights or mislead law enforcement erodes public trust. There must be real accountability.  

“I am pushing for reforms, including body cameras for ICE agents, pursuing the impeachment of Secretary Kristi Noem, and rebuilding ICE so it operates transparently, lawfully, and with respect for civil rights. Let me be clear: our community will not be terrorized, and we will keep fighting to protect our neighborhoods.”
