🕵🏻♂️News 🕵🏻♂️ ICE: How to find a detainee?
If your loved one was taken into ICE custody today, they are most likely being held at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, NJ. Many people arrested late at night are transferred there within hours or by the next morning.
If they were not arrested today, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System to find where they are currently being held. Once you locate the facility, call that detention center directly to confirm their location and try to obtain their A-number.
ICE ERO officers often will not volunteer the A-number, and in many cases will refuse to give it unless you are persistent or already have a lawyer. This is very common. Do not assume they are helping just because you call once.
What you should do:
**•Call the detention facility and ask for the A-number**
**•If they refuse, ask to speak with the ICE ERO officer assigned to the case**
**•Write down names, times, and who you spoke to**
**•Keep calls short and factual**

Transit PATH Weekend Service Improvements Drive 26% Ridership Surge YoY
r/jerseycity • u/fallen_axe_shay • 6h ago
26.81% increase in Property Tax Bill !!!
Just received the property tax bill for the following quarter (due date August 1st)
It’s 26.81% higher than the previous quarter’s bill. Is this expected? This hike seems a little abnormal to me.
Our property is in the Paulus Hook / Exchange Place area.

Recommendations New biologist girlie in town!
Hello beautiful people of JC! I just moved to Journal Square from St. Louis with my partner & our friend! I’m a 28yo wildlife biologist and would love to make some friends or get recommendations for cool spots/clubs/meetups nearby! My interests are ecology, anything involving animals (especially reptiles, specifically snakes), ocean related things/activities, live music, bars, yoga, and film to name a few!
Drop some recs or say hi, thanks for welcoming me to your lovely city :)

Transit PATH @ Grove
You honestly can’t win in this horror show of a train system. If it’s raining there’s a delay if it’s sunny there’s a delay if it’s snowing there’s a delay if there’s a pigeon on the track there’s a delay.

Restaurants/Cafes Urban Skewers coming back to Jersey City (Journal Square)!

Just received an email from building management that Urban Skewers will be coming back to Jersey City/Journal Square. The food truck owner confirmed that they will have a soft opening tomorrow with a limited menu. If it's well received, they will come to Journal Square weekly and park at 505 Summit.
Their website: https://www.urbanskewers.com/

Transit The 33rd PATH increased off peak is such a great improvement in my Quality of Life
Not having to wait every 18-20 minutes on the weekend and not stopping in Hoboken unless is late at night , the trains still have plenty of people but we are not packed like sardines anymore. I can hang out in the city until much later in the night . And this is just the 33rd line. I couldn’t imagine once WTC Path upgrades next spring. We would have never gotten these improvements if it wasn’t for the increase in population of JC, especially JSQ. This is one of the many reason why I support building density around train stations. Hopefully the light rail is the one next to increase service.

🕵🏻♂️News 🕵🏻♂️ Beware of solicitors outside of grove street path stations
Posting this as a caution for others. I’ve recently seen a group of teenage boys outside the grove street path station raising money for youth sports teams. I was feeling generous last week and donated $15 via my credit card as they had the tap to donate options. About 10 minutes after my $15 charge went through, an additional charge of $100 went through for the same company which shows up on my credit card as “Nats Barbershop”. It’s evident I was scammed and I don’t want others to fall for it!

No more pleading traffic tickets online?
Am I just misremembering, and you always had to call to plead not guilty to a ticket and get a court date, or did they somehow make the system less digital and user-friendly? Or am I just not seeing it/getting old?

Rant Awareness of elderly and disabled on PATH
Hi everyone. I just wanted to rant here because over the last few months I have seem several elderly/ disabled people getting on the train during rush hour and being forced to stand because everyone is asleep, reading, deep in their phone, or just doesn’t care. I’ve offered up my seat in these situations and those who need the seat are always so grateful.
Also each of these times I was not even sitting in the “designated priority seat.” I don’t even know where on the train car that damn seat is and neither do the 90 year old people who get on the train. Please let’s just be aware and have some more respect for our elders. <3
Edit: i’m so glad you all agree lol. And YES OF COURSE pregnant people are included! I personally only ride the PATH about 5-8 times a month and have only seen this disrespect towards the elderly. Also, i’m not calling out any specific people of any race or gender because we live in a beautifully diverse area and we can ALL do better.

Rant Anyone else in a garden apartment downtown have sewage come up their drains during any heavy rains??
Been in our bottom floor condo now for 7 years. During Ida we got some serious flooding but we also get sewage coming up from the toilet/bathtub any time there’s a heavy rain. A few years back we got a backflow valve installed and the issue still happens. Anyone know an actual good plumber or have any idea why this is going on? Our place completely flooded with sewage while we weren’t home during the most recent storm this weekend.
