Legislators in Trenton should vote against the e-bike bill because it:
1) is a de facto ban on Citibike and other popular bike share programs in NJ;
2) puts the livelihoods of many restaurants at risk; and
3) makes low-cost transportation unaffordable and inaccessible.

It's ridiculously out of touch to treat "abolish ICE" as untouchable. This stuff is wildly unpopular! People hate them! It's an irredeemably rotten institutional culture of thuggery and criminality. Cutting this malignant tumor out altogether isn't just right on principle, it's a winning message.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

A source of ongoing frustration is that public bodies themselves decide how to construct their records and what the process will be for reviewing and redacting them.
So they can (and often do) create burdensome processes, and then claim they don't have to release records bc it would be burdensome

the FOIA statute allows an agency to claim a burdensome exemption when they decide the work is "too much" and not "balanced" against a public interest
