ICE admits to using N.J. warehouse parking lot to process detainees. Did it violate a court order?

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has admitted to using the parking lot of a vacant warehouse in Roxbury to hold detained individuals — a move that could be a potential violation of a court order, U.S. Rep. Analilia Mejia of New Jersey said Tuesday in a statement. An email from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) congressional liaison to Mejia’s office, shared with NJ.com, reveals that ICE’s Newark field office used the lot on multiple occasions in September.
