New Jersey Issues Directive Limiting Police From Helping ICE

With all the recent "anti ICE" onslaught going on, it looks like the State of New Jersey has fought back with a directive to allow local law enforcement to limit extending their "help" to the Federal ICE Force !!

Maybe a good way to give ICE more power for themselves !!

Careful what you wish for !!

Watch for increased ICE raids in New Jersey. KaBoom !!

New Jersey Issues Directive Limiting Police From Helping ICE

The new directive was ostensibly written to separate the responsibilities carried by state law officers from those of federal immigration authorities.


According to the Cape May County Herald, Attorney General Directive 2018-6 states that in most cases, New Jersey’s law enforcement officers:


Cannot stop, question, arrest, search, or detain any individual based solely on actual or suspected immigration status; cannot ask the immigration status of any individual, unless doing so is necessary to the ongoing investigation of a serious offense and relevant to the offense under investigation; cannot participate in civil immigration enforcement operations conducted by ICE; cannot provide ICE with access to state or local law enforcement resources, including equipment, office space, databases, or property, unless those resources are readily available to the public, and cannot allow ICE to interview an individual arrested on a criminal charge unless that person is advised of his or her right to a lawyer.

So the leftists support child trafficking....because that's a big part of what ICE does.

Good job democrats, way to think things through.

Probably to protect the low pay, illegal work force. The next couple of caravans are probably tagged for NJ.

Well, Gov. Phil Murphy is making many mistakes lately. Nobody here like him, including many of his Dem fellows.

One of his staffers was accused of rape. Last snowstorm kids got trapped in schools and buses almost all night, he blamed the weather forecasters. He also gave 2 million taxpayers bucks for illegal aliens legal assistance. The guy sucks.

I think NJ will be republican again.

What percentage of immigrants are trafficking children?

Murphy is great!

Always a smart move to limit your state's crime-fighting apparatus.

I don't think it is a bad thing for States to not cooperate with the Feds, but it isn't really in the best interest of American Citizens in this instance. This is more about politics than about doing the right thing for their constituency.

He sucks balls. He'll be a one term. He's making people miss Chris Christie, and that means a lot.
