Several of New Jersey's congressional representatives hosted a town hall Saturday, taking questions about the presence of federal agents in communities around New Jersey.

Rep. LaMonica McIver, Rep. Rob Menendez, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman and local elected officials in Essex County joined Analilia Mejia, a candidate to replace Gov. Mikie Sherrill as the representative for New Jersey's eleventh district.

The special election took place on Thursday, but it's still too close to call.

"We have the expectation of due process and equal protection, a day in court before we are judged. What we are seeing is the public execution of American citizens," Mejia said. "So, it is our responsibility to understand our rights, to inform our neighbors, and to uphold them."

Officials also referenced several pieces of legislation at the state level meant to regulate ICE, two of which were vetoed by former Gov. Phil Murphy.

One of the vetoed bills would have codified an existing directive that limits local law enforcement's ability to assist ICE in New Jersey.

The hosts of today's town hall told News 12 they'd like to see the vetoed bills make their way back to the governor's desk.
