Today I visited Delaney Hall to provide some measure of oversight and accountability to an out of control DHS.
I announced legislation that ends private detention centers and protects immigrants. I will not vote for another dollar for a reckless ICE & DHS.

Children should spend their days learning at school, playing on the playground, and just being kids.
No child belongs in ICE detention.

This is authoritarianism, plain and simple.
The Trump administration is targeting states that didn’t vote for him — including my home state of Vermont.
Using federal power to punish political opponents is anti-democratic and blatantly illegal.

Cory Booker: Roxbury’s fight is our fight. No new ICE detention centers in N.J.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:
