- Is the mask ban legal?
New Jersey banned cops from covering their faces during most arrests after outrage over ICE raids.
Now, the Department of Justice is suing New Jersey and other states with mask bans, arguing in court that telling ICE agents need masks to protect them from doxxing and retaliation.
In federal court, the Trump administration says the “New Jersey Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act” is an unconstitutional power grab by Jersey officials. In an interview with NJ.com, Gov. Mikie Sherrill said the state was doubling down and would defend the new law.

- Dress code violations for ICE jail visitors? Yes, people were being turned away from visiting their loved ones at Delaney Hall in Newark due to dress code violations at the detention center. A BABY was even turned away for reportedly not having shoes on. Now, a group of volunteers organized by Pax Christi New Jersey are outside the jail at EVERY visiting hour to lend people clothes so they can see their family members.

Items such as flip-flops, sleeveless shirts, leggings, ripped jeans or even certain colors can result in denied entry.

- A New Jersey councilwoman is refusing to apologize after suggesting the town should hire a Mexican landscaping firm because “Mexicans know what to do with grass.” The comments by Willingboro councilwoman Rebecca Perrone sparked outrage.
At a recent meeting, the town’s mayor read a statement saying Perrone’s comments did not reflect the council’s views, but Perrone rejected calls from the public comment to apologize.
“To say somebody does something great and you take it to (mean) something offensive, there must be something wrong with that individual,” said Perrone, who noted she is Guatemalan and Puerto Rican.
“This is not an apology. I didn’t offend anybody. Only the devil will listen to that comment and try to throw dirt on it.”

- N.J. woman who raised orphaned deer facing charges for keeping him 
- Date posted
- 8 days ago
- Description
- New Jersey wants to take an orphaned deer that a woman has been taking care of in her stable since 2019, but now, the deer is nowhere to be found. Rudolph, affectionately known as “Rudy,” turned up on Cammy Lowe’s farm in Lawrence Township—his mother was found dead in nearby woods. Cammy raised the white-tailed deer for years until cops found out about Rudy’s cushy lifestyle in 2024. Keeping a deer as a pet in New Jersey is illegal, according to N.J. Fish & Wildlife. An ongoing legal battle will determine Rudy’s future. However, Cammy now says Rudy has “escaped” the barn, further complicating the case. Cammy may face jail time for taking in the deer, to which she says she’s “still facing the consequences of trying to save his life.”

- Twisted neck goose seen getting bullied in N.J. park
- Date posted
- 15 days ago
- Description
- This unusual Canada goose was seen in a Piscataway, N.J. park with its neck twisted backwards in a peculiar way. The woman who took this video said she saw other geese flying at it, so she called a local bird rescue.
The rescue group, The Raptor Trust, tells us this goose is suffering from Wry neck (torticollis). It’s a neurological condition often caused by vitamin E/selenium deficiency. Bird experts are saying they are seeing more of this condition lately in New Jersey. Possible causes could be the harsh winter leaving some resident geese with poor nutrition during those lean months. Sadly, flock birds will often try to drive away (bully) an injured or sick bird because they don’t want to attract predators. It's a natural survival behavior.
Some experts say that it doesn’t mean this goose will die. It could recover but it’s more complicated since the bird has a more difficult time trying to eat. Prompt treatment can help a bird recover...
