sacked
T he Essex County Freeholder Board has
been calling for the firing of Immigra-

son Emilio Karim Dabul, who has been
linked to groups labeled by the Southern
Poverty Law Center as Islamophobic. The
board, however, still maintains its contract
with the agency to house immigrant de-
tainees.
The contract was renewed in 2016, rais-
ing the daily rate for each bed in the county
correctional facility in Newark from $108
per day to $117. Board President Brendan
Gill said he was considering holding a
public hearing on the subject, but no offi-
cial date has been set yet. TAPinto.net
