"We know the administration has challenged some of these measures in the past. We beat them in court then, and we're happy to meet them in court again if they decide to sue now."
"In this state, we want all victims and witnesses to feel safe reporting violent crimes without worrying that they'll be deported for it."
"We want to build trust with all of our state and local police officers, and we want all of our taxpayers to be served."
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill signed three laws that restrict police interactions with federal immigration authorities and prohibit law enforcement from wearing face masks. These laws aim to counteract federal immigration enforcement policies and may lead to legal challenges. The first law reinforces the Immigrant Trust Directive, which limits police involvement in immigration matters to foster trust within immigrant communities. The second law, the Privacy Protection Act, further protects individuals' privacy rights in relation to law enforcement activities.
