A group of New Jersey Republicans is trying to reverse a directive from the state's liberal district attorney general that 'handcuffs' local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration officials. Assemblymen Greg Myhre and Brian Rumpf and state Sen. Carmen Amato Jr., are gaining support from nearly a dozen Republicans in the state legislature for their companion bill.
This is a slap in the face to every law-abiding, taxpaying citizen who is fed up with federal and state immigration policies that are failing our nation,' the lawmakers said. There are upward of 500,000 illegal migrants living in New Jersey, according to the American Immigration Council, and roughly 17,000 entered the state illegally in 2023. Fox News' Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.
