Department of Homeland Security Backing down on Roxbury Detention Center
A Statement from Governor Mikie Sherrill and Attorney General Jennifer Davenport Posted on NJ.gov on 06/18/2026 Today the New York Times is reporting that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is backing down on its mass detention center in Roxbury. That is a big win for public safety, for the township of Roxbury, and for New Jersey. “DHS’s plans were always illegal: the Roxbury warehouse is a logistics center fit for packages, not thousands of people, and did nothing to make New Jersey safer. In fact, we told them it would have devastating impacts on the water and sewage systems, and compromise an environmentally sensitive area. That’s why we joined the town of Roxbury in court and stopped this detention center from moving forward in the first place. “This isn’t a partisan issue and we're grateful for our partnership with the Roxbury community as we keep DHS’s feet to the fire to ensure this facility is never opened.” Governor Sherrill Announces Bold Action to Expand Housing Supply and Lower Costs Across New Jersey Posted on NJ.gov on 06/24/2026 NJ HOMES Applications Close July 1 for Second Cohort of Municipalities; NJHMFA Raises Nearly $35 Million for Affordable and Workforce Housing Through Tax Credit Auction Governor Mikie Sherrill today announced two major steps to increase housing production and lower costs for New Jersey families, advancing her Administration’s commitment to tackling the state’s affordability crisis by expanding the supply of housing in New Jersey. |
Governor Sherrill announced that applications for the second cohort of municipalities participating in the New Jersey Housing Opportunities for Municipal Equity and Success (NJ HOMES) initiative will close on July 1. Thirty municipalities will be selected to receive technical assistance and planning support to advance strategies that increase housing production. Municipalities can apply here.
The Governor also announced that the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA) successfully raised nearly $35 million through its Affordable Housing Tax Credit auction, generating critical new resources to finance affordable and workforce housing developments throughout the state. These announcements came just hours after President Trump refused to sign the ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation that passed the House and Senate with wide margins.

Governor Sherrill Statement on Supreme Court Decision on Birthright Citizenship Posted on NJ.gov on 06/30/2026 "Birthright citizenship is a foundational constitutional guarantee that has shaped our nation for more than 150 years. Donald Trump’s malicious attempt to tear down this guarantee was so plainly unlawful and reckless that his own hand-picked Supreme Court said no. We are a nation of laws, and no president should have the power to change that with a stroke of a pen. "I’m grateful to Attorney General Davenport, her team, and our multistate partners for leading the fight against this order since day one. We stand for the Constitution here in New Jersey and we will continue fighting to uphold the rule of law." |
