- Hoboken officials said local police were not notified or involved, and Jersey City’s mayor reiterated a new order barring city police from assisting ICE without a judge’s warrant.
- The total number of detainees remains unclear, with local leaders citing at least two to three arrests and some reportedly headed to jobs at Hoboken businesses; DHS and ICE have not provided comment.
- Emergency meetings drew roughly 200 residents for legal‑rights guidance, with officials directing people to ACLU resources and community hotlines.
