UPDATE: ‘ Really unacceptable’: Stories on immigration status of people dropped off in P’burg challenged
8 p. m.: Warren County Prosecutor Jim Pfeiffer told lehighvalleylive .com on Monday night that” the people dropped off have relatives in Phillipsburg”.
According to Mayor Randy Piazza, the Town of Phillipsburg is looking into a number of “unconfirmed” allegations that illegal immigrants are being detained in city without giving due notice.
According to Mayor Randy Piazza, the Phillipsburg Police Department is currently looking into the matter.
According to a statement released on behalf of the city, a number of options, including a nearby web site, “had received inquiries from a fall off of illegal immigrants in our community.”
According to the governor, Phillipsburg has received no previous notice nor has it given any legal power to do so.
” We have been informed that other towns in the State of New Jersey have previously been content to such actions, but this is the first report we have seen in our town. According to Phillipsburg Business Administrator Matthew Hall, we are already contacting our province, state, and federal partners to get more details about this issue.
People told him on numerous occasions that they’d witnessed strange visitors of van lots and busloads of people being “dropped off” at different locations in the area over the course of several weeks. He said that other council users have even noticed receiving related complaints from residents.
” An event like this is out of the ordinary”, Piazza said. We want to know the truth behind it, even though it may not be accurate.
The president made reference to images of many men traveling through the Stockton and Sitgreaves streets area. People allegedly fabricated the men’s identities as unauthorized immigrants after the images were circulated on Facebook, he claimed.
The pictures are currently being looked at by the president, according to the president.
About 10 people were photographed leaving a bright contract van on Monday, Piazza said, citing the images he’d seen. The bus reportedly left the fall- off site instantly, he said. The vehicle is believed to be from Texas, but that information even remains unconfirmed. Where did the men leave the drop-off and where are they?
Stockton and Sitgreaves Streets is certainly a designated contract vehicle drop-off location.
Officials are using the pictures, which showed the car license plates, to identify the owner of the vehicle, Piazza said. In the meantime, he encouraged people to remain attentive. ” If you see something, say something”, he said.
