About

New Jersey is featured in recent news articles for several reasons. First, it is the location where ICE agents arrested a Brazilian influencer who supported Trump's immigration policies. Second, it's the home of labor activist Jim Keady, who supports a former Nike factory worker in Indonesia. Musician Bruce Springsteen, a New Jersey native, has been vocal about his disapproval of ICE actions and the Trump administration's immigration policies, even dedicating a song to Minneapolis in response to ICE killings and performing in New Jersey while condemning ICE tactics. Finally, a 17-year-old from Virginia who attempted to murder a New Jersey police officer pleaded guilty; the crime occurred in Burlington County, New Jersey. These events highlight New Jersey's connection to national and international issues, including immigration, labor rights, political activism, and crime.
