Dozens Of NJ Workers In Custody After ICE Warehouse Raid

Wednesday morning, federal officers detained nearly 30 immigrant workers at the Smart Supply Chain Warehouse facility, 65 Patrick Avenue, Edison, New Jersey, a CBP‑bonded facility handling Amazon and FedEx shipments.
In recent months, immigration enforcement has surged, aided by new funding approved by Congress, and this was at least the second ICE action in Edison this summer after the July 8 Alba Wine & Spirits warehouse raid that led to 20 arrests.
Video and worker accounts show ICE officers arriving in unmarked vehicles on Wednesday, forcing the gate open after CBP entered, wristbanding documented workers and loading others into unmarked vans, with no information given to relatives.
Families were left without information as ICE did not disclose detainees' locations, leaving relatives 'wondering what is happening to my loved ones' and two detainees planning to self-deport.
Experts warned this may be the beginning of the promised 'flooding the zone' operation, with Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, calling for 3,000 daily arrests; legal experts remain unsure if raids are centrally directed.
