New Jersey's Democrat Attorney General Orders Local Police to Reduce Cooperation With ICE, Turning NJ Into Another Sanctuary State

I seem to remember that the last time states engaged in repudiation of federal law and authority, it was considered a criminal insurrection justifying war; but now it just gets plaudits from the same progressives tearing down Civil War memorials.

"No law-abiding resident of this great state should live in fear that a routine traffic stop by local police will result in his or her deportation from this country," Grewal said.

Under the new rules, New Jersey police cannot stop or detain anyone based on their immigration status, cannot ask the immigration status of anyone unless it is part of an ongoing investigation into a serious crime, police officers cannot participate in ICE raids and ICE cannot utilize state or local resources.

Gov. Phil Murphy's administration has been working on revamping police guidelines regarding immigrants shortly after he was elected last year, according to NJ.com.

He said he would make New Jersey a "sanctuary state" during his campaign, but Grewal said the state would still go after criminals.
