New Jersey governor bans immigration agents from some state property

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has signed an executive order banning immigration agents from accessing non-public state property without a judicial warrant and using state property as bases for enforcement operations. The prohibition also applies to immigration officers' use of state property for enforcement activities. Sherrill's move comes amid growing scrutiny of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, particularly in Democrat-run states. The governor has launched an online portal for residents to share videos and photos of enforcement activity, which will be reviewed by the state attorney general's office. Civil rights advocates have praised Sherrill's efforts, citing concerns about ICE's heavy-handed approach and its impact on communities. The executive order aims to hold ICE accountable and protect residents' constitutional freedoms.
