• A Mayor's Wife Is Injured as ICE Chases Another Driver, Officials Say (nytimes.com) — A high-speed ICE pursuit ended in a crash on Route 130 in North Brunswick, injuring the wife of East Brunswick’s mayor and sending both drivers to the hospital. Mayor Francis Womack stressed that township police only became involved after the collision, distancing local officers from the federal operation. The incident comes amid a sharp rise in ICE arrests across New Jersey. 
• Esther Salas: Where is Daniel Anderl's Mother Now? (moviedelic.com) — North Brunswick readers will remember the 2020 shooting at Judge Esther Salas’ home, where her son Daniel was killed and her husband seriously wounded.
