New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill issued a statement on August 7, 2026 supporting a civil rights investigation into Delaney Hall, a private detention facility, saying the facility had resisted oversight, according to the governor’s office.
“Since the facility is stonewalling efforts for real oversight, this is the right and necessary course of action,” Sherrill said in the statement posted by her office.
Two days earlier, on August 5, Sherrill announced the nomination of Michael Embrich to serve as New Jersey’s first Veteran Advocate. On August 6, the governor signed several bills into law.
