A New Jersey township is under investigation after it adopted a rule limiting use of a public park to state residents, which opponents said targets the Jewish community from the nearby New York town of Ramapo.
The northern New Jersey town on the border of New York has come under fire recently for ordinances that some believe are targeted at Jews.
The park ban was created in July after residents complained about overcrowding at the facilities and them being used by Orthodox Jewish families from New York, according to The Record.
Craig Sashihara, director of the attorney general’s Civil Rights Division, said the ban raised concerns under New Jersey discrimination and civil rights laws.
