Join us as we begin at the symbol to our nation's history of welcoming immigrants, Ellis Island and visit the institutions that represent the current reality for immigrants in NJ today, including the county jails, the immigration court and the Elizabeth Detention Center. This year we will be focusing on the 131 deaths in detention along with the economic and social conditions that contribute to the dehumanization and the suffering of immigrants in detention that leads society to not mourn these deaths.
