A 26-year-old New Jersey man has been arrested over an alleged plot to firebomb the home of Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani. The AP reports the federal authorities detained Alexander Heifler while he was assembling Molotov cocktails to throw at Kiswani’s New York City home. He had apparently detailed his plan to an undercover NYPD detective, who had permeated a group chat that included Heifler. He planned to flee the country to Israel after carrying out the attack. After executing a search warrant, officers uncovered eight Molotov cocktails from his Hoboken residence.

The Real ‘Problem’ With E-Bikes And New Jersey’s New E-Bike Law

March 8, 2026 Dan Suraci, Next City. Create! EBikes, New Jersey (NJ), Public safety, Transportation

Last month, in reaction to several high-profile fatal crashes, outgoing New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy passed the country’s strictest law on e-bike use. The law, which reclassifies e-bikes as vehicles, amounts to an effective ban on e-bikes. Starting in July, all e-bike riders in the state will be required to have a licence and registration, and most will also need an insurance policy. Riders aged 14 and under will be banned from using e-bikes altogether. The new law highlights growing tension between pedestrians, motorists, lawmakers and cyclists. It also misses the mark on the root causes of the e-bike “crisis” in the Garden State.

New Jersey Residents Defeat AI Data Center

The New Brunswick, New Jersey City Council voted Wednesday to cancel plans to construct an artificial intelligence data center and instead build a new public park where the 27,000-square foot facility would have gone. Artificial intelligence data centers—which house the servers and other infrastructure needed to train and power AI models—have major environmental and climate impacts, as they consume massive amounts of electricity and water, as well as rare earth metals and other resources. According to New Brunswick Patch, hundreds of people packed into Wednesday evening’s city hall meeting to voice concerns that the proposed data center would send their electricity and water bills skyrocketing, and that the facility would harm the environment.

Jersey City, NJ - On Friday, December 5 at 5:30 am over 50 anti-genocide activists picketed the G&B Packing warehouse in Jersey City. According to an explosive report by Progressive International and the Palestinian Youth Movement and an investigative feature by Dropsite News, both released on November 24. The warehouse, located at 1A Colony Road in Jersey City, processes over 1,000 tons of military cargo shipped by ZIM and Maersk to the Zionist state every week in coordination with its logistics branch and sister company Interglobal Forwarding Services.

It’s 5:30 in the morning and the warehouse is already buzzing. Workers are unloading trucks, breaking down pallets, folding boxes, and packing orders to be shipped to local stores. Most of the workers at this New Jersey warehouse are immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, and most are temps, hired by one of the 200 temp agency branches that advertise warehouse and light manufacturing jobs in the state. These agencies take a cut of workers’ wages while companies save on recruitment, benefits, and payroll costs. Companies use the temp agencies to shirk their responsibilities, since temps are officially agency rather than company employees. For many immigrants in New Jersey, particularly those without legal status, temp work is one of few employment options, but they face low pay and perilous working conditions.

On July 13, roughly 100 people convened in Military Park in Newark, New Jersey for the launch of Break the Bonds, a new statewide campaign in solidarity with Palestine. Inspired by the BDS Movement — a call from Palestinian civil society organizations to boycott and divest from Israel’s economy — the activists in New Jersey vowed to get their state to divest from Israel Bonds. These bonds, as organizers explained, are direct loans that individuals and institutions make to the Israeli treasury, enabling its ongoing genocide in Gaza and broader oppression of Palestinians.

Abolishing The First Amendment

I testified at the New Jersey state capital in Trenton last week against Bill A3558, which would adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, which conflates anti-Zionism with antisemitism. “This is a dangerous assault on free speech by seeking to criminalize legitimate criticism of Israeli policies,” I said. “The Trump administration’s campaign to ostensibly root out antisemitism on college campuses is clearly a trope to shut down free speech and deport non-citizens, even if they are here legally. This bill falsely conflates ethnicity with a political state.

“ICE has been kidnapping day laborers from Home Depots across the country,” said Jorge Torres, an immigrant rights organizer with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), as he led a march of dozens of activists through a Home Depot in East Windsor, New Jersey. “We are sending a message from New Jersey, all the way to Los Angeles, that we will not allow Home Depot to keep cooperating with ICE.” On July 3, dozens of immigrant rights activists protested at a Home Depot store in East Windsor and to deliver a letter of demands to the store’s manager. “We no longer feel safe going into your Home Depot store,” said an immigrant rights activist, reading from the demands letter.

On Thursday, June 12th, 50 kidnapped immigrants revolted against their inhumane conditions at Delaney Hall, a private detention facility operated by GEO Group in Newark. By the time the tear gas settled, captives had torn down a wall, family visitation was cancelled, and protestors mobilized to interrupt facility operations from the outside. At least four captives successfully liberated themselves from their unjust detention. At the time of this writing, the actions of those inside, supported by solidarity actions on the outside, have increased the urgency in calls to shut Delaney down.

New Jersey’s Movement Against ICE Detention Is Not Going Away

New Jersey’s newest immigrant detention center, Delaney Hall, sits deep in the arteries of Newark, where shipping containers are stacked on top of each other in every direction. The air smells like sewage and the roads surrounding the center are constantly filled with truckers driving around. None of this has deterred activists from holding daily vigils outside of Delaney Hall. These actions, organized by a seasoned coalition of pro-immigrant rights groups in the state, have now been going for over a month. By now, the existence of Delaney Hall has become national news following the high-profile arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

Powerful Three-Day Strike Wins New Contract For Transit Engineers

On May 18, Locomotive Engineers at New Jersey Transit (NJT) won a new tentative contract with an improved wage offer after a solid three-day strike that halted the vital passenger rail service statewide. A message on the union’s strike website said it all: “Thank you members. We did it.” The NJT engineers were forced out on strike after midnight May 16 when transit bosses walked out of contract negotiations. This was the second round of bargaining with the Locomotive Engineers union, representing 450 engineers and trainees, after 87 percent of voting members overwhelmingly rejected a previous proposal.

Strike Halts New Jersey Transit

Four hundred and fifty train engineers at New Jersey Transit walked off the job overnight, after years of fruitless negotiations with their employer. These workers drive the state-run commuter trains that serve 350,000 daily riders in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. As of late Thursday night, NJT train service was completely shut down. The transit system is running additional buses as an alternative, but it’s extremely unlikely that they can make up the difference. “I take pride in what I do,” said one longtime engineer on the picket line, who didn’t want to give his name for fear of retaliation. “It gives me great joy taking my commuters to and from work every day.

ICE Reopens Detention Center As Part Of Trump’s War On Immigrants

The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed the impending reopening of Delaney Hall, an ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey. The movement for immigrant rights had previously shut down the center. It will be the first expansion of ICE detention centers under the second Trump presidency. This comes after a high profile ICE raid in Newark. ICE has also been conducting raids throughout Hudson County. The fight against ICE in New Jersey is becoming more urgent. Delaney Hall has a capacity of 1,000 beds. Private prison company GEO Group signed a 15-year contract worth roughly $1 billion, to run the 1,000-bed detention center.

Defend Lisa Davis

The attacks on the Uhuru Movement Continue. On March 31st, 2024, Lisa Davis, vice chair of the Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace, and Reparations, was attending a pro Palestine weekly vigil in South Orange, New Jersey, when a disturbed zionist aggressively ran towards the protestors, verbally assaulted her and aggressively got into her face. The crowd had to intervene to make him back off. It is clear from the videos that it is the zionist who was the aggressor against Lisa and the demonstrators. But New Jersey is protecting him and is falsely charging Lisa Davis with organizing a special event without a permit and for making excessive noise while using an amplification device.
