CHERRY HILL, NJ — Today, Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) and Congressman Herb Conaway (NJ-03) visited Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, one week after receiving a letter from Defense Secretary Hegseth informing the Representatives that the military base will be used as a detention site for undocumented immigrants.

“Last week, Defense Secretary Hegseth informed us that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst will be used as a detention site for undocumented immigrants. Today, I joined Congressman Conaway for a meeting at the base to perform our congressional duty of oversight,” said Congressman Donald Norcross. “The fact that the base hasn’t received any information to prepare to house undocumented immigrants shows the chaos and confusion that surrounds the Trump Administration. This administration has shown time and time again that they will ignore due process, but we must ensure proper use of our military facilities and uphold human rights standards.”
