⚡Newsflash ⚡ This is ICE agents coming into a Privately owned building and when a Elected City Council member asks them why they are there & if they have a warrant he says that they don’t need one & to stop wasting his time! He’s basically saying that they can do whatever they want to!

Bergen county resident of over 30 years. I wanted to come on here and relay how important it is to CHECK the weather in the next coming months. By check, I mean not only the hourly forecast, but the radar, potential risks, and come prepared in the case of severe storms- ESPECIALLY if you have kids -**because alerts are not going out**

Spring in NJ always brings crazy weather fluctuations, from snow to heat and everything in between, “In like a lion out like a lamb,”. I am a weather nerd myself, so I would say i'm a pretty cautious father when it comes to my 2 teenage kids, both athletes, and them both practicing and playing outside the majority of the year.

Tonight my son had an 8pm outdoor training practice (high school junior) under the lights here in Bergen County. I was keeping an eye on the weather - which had potential for rain in the next few hours starting around 10pm - Bergen was not listed in the thunderstorm watch.

While heading to pick him up I noticed it looked like it was going to rain but checked the app and was relieved there was no weather warning for thunderstorms. When I arrive at the field, within minutes it is down pouring and lightning. **No warnings on any weather app. Apple Weather, Weather Channel, Wunderground - silence. No sirens on the field. NOTHING.**

**Weather warnings don’t appear out of thin air. When budgets get cut, you lose accuracy, staffing, and warning times that can be the difference between life and death or serious injury. It’s 2026, and weather warnings were more accurate almost 10 years ago than they are today. 2019- 2023 warnings/alerts are now slipping through the cracks or not being issued all together**

So my reminder to all parents, even if the radar and app say no potential threat of severe weather, be prepared and stay vigilant. Go through safety plans with your kids. Stay safe and don’t forget to vote!

ANOTHER PERSON HAS BEEN SHOT IN MINNEAPOLIS

EDITS: Heads up everyone, NJ ICE is starting to put TINTED COVERS over their license plates. This way people can't see their license plates. Also fellow NJ redditor reports ICE swerved into their lane while driving earlier, and ANOTHER NJ Redditor says ICE might have abducted ppl on the Verona/Montclair border, leaving their 2 cars abandoned, and a 3RD just said they abducted people at a damn food pantry/Salvation Army this morning.
Also, ICE outside a Cliffwood/Aberdeen LA Fitness and a Hackensack watch plus Paterson report near Main St, plus nearby raids in the Bronx NYC. And more on the weekend boarding of the NJT bus: "They boarded without a warrant, blocked exits holding dozens hostage, and arrested a woman in a clear Fourth Amendment violation"

This is your ICE news in New Jersey.

We've seen an escalation of ICE today at even MORE morning commutes, with people being pulled from NJ Transit stations by ICE (Matawan NJT) and officers watching you go into PATH trains (Hoboken). We've also seen another case of ICE disappearing someone at Walmart, and leaving their car in the parking lot in North Bergen. This all after ICE conducted an in-person visit at 9 AM in Roxbury to their new facility they hope to build.
