Welcome to what will probably be a *very* long livetweet of the @HudCoTweet board of freeholders meeting in which they will decide whether to authorize the county executive to renew the county jail's contract with ICE.

At 1pm on a Tuesday, two days before Thanksgiving. You might get the impression that they do not want public involvement in this decision.

You would be correct. Two years ago they got sued for violating the open public meetings act when they rushed this vote through.

The @HudCoTweet board of freeholders is having a caucus meeting at 4. I will be livetweeting the caucus meeting but, to be clear, TOMORROW (TUESDAY) AT 1PM is the actual meeting where (we expect) the board of freeholders will vote on the ICE contract. The caucus meeting is different from the public meeting:

- It sets the agenda of the public meeting

- There is no public comment (but the public can listen in)

- No binding decisions are made (other than the agenda for tomorrow)
