Several of New Jersey's congressional representatives hosted a Town Hall Saturday, taking questions about the presence of Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents in communities around New Jersey.

"No one should be above the law to do whatever they want to do without any accountability," Rep. LaMonica McIver said.

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 11th District.

The special election took place on Thursday, but it was still too close to call as of Saturday night.

"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.

"We need to eliminate ICE as it exists, but we need to eliminate the Department of Homeland Security as it exists," Watson Coleman said.

The hosts of Saturday's Town Hall told News 12 they'd like to see the vetoed bills make their way back to the governor's desk.

Lawmakers also spoke on several of the latest hot-button issues surrounding ICE presence in the Garden State.

"They should be following the constitution, not a memo from DHS. They are wrong in every which way they talk about it, and their rhetoric from the White House is dangerous for all of us," Menendez said in response to a question about an ICE operation in Jersey City last weekend where an agent stated he didn't need a warrant to make an arrest.

Elected officials also addressed conditions inside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark.

McIver was hit with federal assault charges while attempting to do an oversight visit at Delaney Hall last year.

"We spoke to over 40 detainees who told us the conditions there. They do not get food regularly, the cleanliness of the location. They do not have access to medical care," she said. "No matter what side you're on, no matter what policy you agree with, the things that you see that are happening, ask yourself: is that right?"
