Doug Seibert of Collingswood urged the Camden County commissioners to adopt Resolution 83 supporting the New Jersey State Immigrant Trust Act, saying such policies help neighbors seek services and report crimes without fear.

"By adopting this resolution in support of the New Jersey Immigrant Trust Act, Camden County is choosing our families, our neighbors, our businesses, and our children over oppression," Seibert told the board during the public hearing.

Seibert also recounted a local example he said demonstrates the policy’s importance: he said a contractor told him that Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently detained five workers who had been in the United States for seven or eight years, which the speaker presented as evidence of local impacts from immigration enforcement. The board did not challenge or verify that account during the meeting; it was offered as testimony in support of the resolution.

Director Cappelli and commissioners thanked Seibert and Cooper River Indivisible for bringing the issue to the board’s attention. The public hearing was limited to discussion of resolutions to be acted on that afternoon and was closed before the board proceeded to votes.

The transcript does not include the text of Resolution 83. The meeting record shows the board moved to vote on resolutions by block (Resolutions 1–83) and conducted a roll call; abstentions on particular numbered items were recorded for individual commissioners, but the transcript does not provide per-resolution vote tallies in full for each item.
