So today I'm calling on the Department of Homeland Security to do the restore visitation for families. Provide appropriate care and medical for all detainees, especially the most vulnerable.

As governor, I swore an oath to the Constitution of New Jersey to promote peace, prosperity, and the lawful rights of everyone in our state. (03:23–03:28)
