NJ Moves to Shield Immigrants as Legislature Passes Anti-ICE Bills

New Jersey lawmakers approved a package of anti-ICE bills to curb local police cooperation with federal immigration agents, codify the Immigrant Trust Directive, bolster privacy protections, and require training and annual reporting. The measures, passed by the Assembly and Senate, head to Gov. Murphy, who issued a conditional veto on one data-collection provision and has not yet said whether he will sign them before leaving office on Jan. 20.
