No one has offered actual proof of buses of migrants being dropped off at Motel 6 in Toms River.
Moreover, the incident was investigated by the Toms River Police Department and found to be just 2 bus drivers staying the night between their regular shifts.

Is There Photographic Evidence Of Migrants Getting Off Buses & Congregating In The Motel’s Parking Lot?
If there were photos of migrants at Motel 6 they would be plastered all over the internet. The only photos, obtained by a local resident, were photos of 2 empty buses parked at the motel.
A small group of Toms River residents even stopped by Motel 6 on Route 37 demanding answers from the motel’s employees and management. One resident claims the owner/manager of Motel 6 told her that the buses did drop off illegals and will be dropping off more. He advised her to contact the police department. But still not a single photograph of migrants has been posted. The woman's post can be seen below.
The social media page that made the original post claims they are New Jersey's number one source for "providing news, laughs, and speaking the truth" but have made unfounded reports in the past. These posts could be seen as harmful opinions about local businesses they don’t like, and constantly berate and mock people who have opposing views.
To counterbalance these types of posts, the page's administrator will often call on members for help to raise money for local families in distress along with collecting clothes, toys, and furniture for families in need.
According to Shore Network News, “That false post, intended to cause dissent in the community, led to a woman screaming at the town hall meeting on Wednesday over alleged buses of migrants being dropped off at a local motel from the nation’s southern border. The resident stood up to protest the arrival of migrant buses pushed to the Jersey Shore by the failed immigration policies of President Joe Biden and sanctuary state policies of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.”
In the past, I have been taken to task by the main guy who runs the page for calling him out on several instances for posting unverified information that include boycotts of local businesses he believes are up to no good based on hearsay, and for making degrading comments to the people who frequent the page. The people who run the page strive to stay anonymous, and now you know why.
The Shoppes At Hooper In Toms River Is Really Filling Up With Some Great Places!
It wasn't long ago that the Shoppes At Hooper, located at 1922 Hooper Avenue in Silverton, seemed to be all dressed up with nowhere to go. The beautiful new building finished during the pandemic only had a couple of tenants it's first year or so after opening. Thankfully, that has all changed now with the hustle and bustle of customers spending their hard earned cash on everything from haircuts, to wine, from fast casual tacos and poke' bowls, to a salon and a spa, and of course two things no red blooded Silvertonian can go without, a good slice of pizza and a nice cup of Joe!
According to the Shoppes website, The Shoppes at Hooper is a new upscale shopping center situated on 9 acres of prime real estate in the Silverton section of Toms River, bordering Brick Township. The center is geographically located within favorable demographics and offers high traffic counts along Hooper Avenue, with ingress and egress on both Hooper Avenue and Church Road. There is inline retail space, second floor offices and two free-standing pad sites available, which are ideal for new or expanding businesses with ample onsite parking. The center offers many forms of leasing options.
The Shoppes At Hooper offers the neighborhood a nice "one stop" change of pace, where you can accomplish multiple tasks on your Saturday, for instance, without driving all around town. And when it comes to dining, like I mentioned, there are quite a few options. There was talk of, and even a sign up for a while, touting that brewery would be setting up shop in one of the pads but that has yet to materialize. However, you can get your fill of whatever booze you need with the flagship store of The Shoppes At Hooper, The Silverton Super Buy Rite, which was the first store to move across Hooper Avenue, two years ago. Here's a list of the stores currently occupying space at The Shoppes At Hooper. Find out more at https://www.theshoppesathooper.com/
