Governor Mikie Sherrill signed three sanctuary statehood bills into law on Wednesday in Newark.
The first bill codifies the Attorney General’s 2018 Immigrant Trust Directive into state law. New Jersey has been a sanctuary state by executive action (an attorney general directive) since November 2018.
The second severely restricts information‑sharing with the federal government AND regulates the MVC’s ability to share personal motorist data. It’s like 9/11 never happened for these people!
The third and final bill requires law enforcement to identify themselves during detentions and arrests AND, in a move that can only be described as pro-doxxing, limits the use of face masks by all law enforcement including ICE agents. Federal immigration officers have faced doxxing across the country since the Trump Administration’s enforcement actions ramped up last year.
Here are the governor’s remarks at the signing ceremony:
