Here's the stories you'll be talking about on the New Jersey 101.5 Morning Show on Monday:

🔗 Sherrill finally entered Delaney Hall, still has questions

✅Gov. Sherrill toured Delaney Hall Monday but said the visit was tightly controlled
✅The governor said she was not allowed to speak directly with detainees
✅Federal officials defend condition at the detention center

NEWARK — Gov. Mikie Sherrill finally got inside Delaney Hall but was disappointed at the access she was allowed.

Ever since stories surfaced about poor conditions at the privately owned ICE detention center in Newark, the governor has sought a tour. She was first turned away on Memorial Day during an in-person visit and said on her "Ask Governor Sherrill" monthly radio program that she has asked again but not received a response.

Sherill described her Monday morning visit as "closely controlled and limited," which she called "unacceptable." She was able to see some of the medical and dining facilities, as well as some housing units.

“I was not allowed to meet or speak directly with the detainees, which continues to raise serious questions about the real conditions of the facility and the treatment of those held there. I will continue to push to speak with the detainees directly. They deserve to be heard and the public deserves answers," Sherrill said.

The governor said she will continue to fight for "full transparency and accountability from ICE" and continue with a lawsuit to allow the state Department of Health to have full access.

🔗 Newark cops under investigation after Delaney arrests

When officials at Delaney Hall called 911 Sunday night to report protestors had blocked the entrance to the detention facility, Newark police officers responded.

When protestors refused orders to leave, Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda says they were "moved away" by officers. Two people were arrested.

Now, Mayor Ras Baraka says some of the officers who responded may have been "over-aggressive" and their actions are under investigation.

Body-cam footage of the response and the arrests are being reviewed.

In a statement, Baraka insisted, "It is imperative that all our officers uphold the standards of professionalism and accountability required under the consent decree. Any conduct that falls short undermines the significant progress we have made in building trust and advancing community-focused policing in Newark."

Miranda seemed to defend the conduct of his officers. He issued his own statement saying, "Police must act when public safety is jeopardized by individuals who intentionally block vehicles from gaining entrance to a building, vandalize vehicles, or start fires in garbage dumpsters, all of which has occurred during the Delaney Hall protests."

Neither Baraka, nor Miranda, gave any details about how many officers were under review or what sanctions they might face.

🔗 Video: NJ driver stopped for wearing sweatshirt in warm weather

⚠️ A viral video shows a traffic stop involving a Black, disabled driver and Jackson police.
➡️ The driver says he was racially profiled and pulled over for being Black and wearing a hoodie.
🔴 Jackson police say they will conduct a "full and impartial" review of the incident.

JACKSON — A traffic stop video involving a Black, disabled driver and two white police officers has attracted lots of online attention and sparked township police to investigate claims of racial profiling.

The driver, Jamal Holmes, began recording on his cell phone when he was pulled over a short distance from his residence on June 2.

What officers said during the Jackson traffic stop
A four-minute video taken on Holmes’ cell phone shows two officers standing at the passenger side of his car, asking for his driver’s license.

“What was the reason for stopping me?” Holmes asks, just a few miles from the Westlake Mews residential development.

“When we drove by in the Mews, we just saw you; I was a little concerned, it looked like you were reaching down, just like hiding your face when we came by. You're wearing a sweatshirt in 80-degree weather,” the first officer says.

“You got a handicap placard up, there’s people that complain in the Mews about people parking in handicap spots,” the officer says.

Township police on Sunday vowed to carry out a full review of the incident as the video made the rounds online.

"The Jackson Township Police Department takes all allegations of discrimination seriously. We are aware of the concerns that have been raised and are reviewing the matter in accordance with our policies and procedures. A thorough and impartial review will be conducted to ensure all relevant facts and circumstances are considered," Jackson Township Police Chief Mary Nelson said in a written statement shared to Facebook on Sunday.
