新泽西州2,020万美元拘留与驱逐辩护资金全额分配 10家法律服务机构承接
新泽西州州长Mikie Sherrill与人力服务厅厅长Stephen Cha在特伦顿宣布，2027财年2020万美元的拘留与驱逐辩护计划（DDDI）资金已全额分配给10家法律服务机构，为面临移民拘留、驱逐与遣返程序的低收入居民提供法律代理及相关支持。这是该计划自2018年设立以来规模最大的一次拨款。
分配结构包括：现行服务机构约1300万美元，由新泽西法律服务公司牵头，美国之友服务委员会、Seton Hall大学法学院与Rutgers大学法学院为分包方；新增加的遣返辩护机构约500万美元，包括州公共辩护人办公室、世界教会服务社与新泽西移民儿童联盟；能力扩展资金约120万美元，拨给移民与美国公民身份组织及纽瓦克总教区天主教慈善机构；另有约100万美元拨给国际救援委员会担任协调机构。最终拨款函已于11月9日当周发出。
今年6月，Sherrill州长宣布将该计划资金从820万美元提高到2020万美元。按州政府说明，Delaney Hall拘留设施内所有没有律师代理的低收入被拘留者都将获得代理；配套的快速法律响应计划自6月以来已培训150多名律师。州新美国人办公室主任Johanna Calle参与协调该计划。

New Jersey Allocates Full $20.2 Million Across 10 Providers for Detention and Deportation Defense
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and Human Services Commissioner Stephen Cha announced in Trenton the full allocation of $20.2 million in fiscal 2027 funding across 10 legal services providers under the Detention and Deportation Defense Initiative (DDDI), which provides legal representation and related support to low-income residents facing immigration detention, deportation and removal proceedings. It is the largest allocation in the program's history since its launch in 2018.
About $13 million goes to current providers led by Legal Services of New Jersey, with the American Friends Service Committee, Seton Hall Law School and Rutgers Law School as subgrantees. Roughly $5 million funds new removal-defense providers including the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender, Church World Service and the New Jersey Consortium for Immigrant Children. About $1.2 million supports capacity expansion through the Immigration and American Citizenship Organization and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark, and about $1 million goes to the International Rescue Committee as coordinating entity. Final award letters were sent during the week of November 9.
In June, Governor Sherrill expanded the initiative's funding from $8.2 million to $20.2 million. State officials said the allocation ensures representation for all low-income detainees held at Delaney Hall who lack counsel, while the companion Rapid Legal Response Initiative has trained more than 150 attorneys since June. The effort is coordinated with the Office of New Americans under Director Johanna Calle.
