Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed a trio of sweeping immigration laws on Wednesday that dramatically restrict when New Jersey can cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
The moves mark one of the most aggressive state pushbacks against ICE and the immigration agenda of President Donald Trump's administration.
"We're not going to tolerate mass-roving militias pretending to be well-trained law enforcement agents," Sherrill, a Democrat, said at the bill signing event in Newark.
One law, S3114, bars both local and federal law enforcement officers — including ICE — from wearing masks during interactions with the public in the state.
Another, S3522, prohibits state agencies from sharing a person's immigration status without a warrant.
