GET ICE OUT OF NJ
To: Gov. Sherrill
From: A constituent in Gloucester City, NJ
February 5
ICE is here kidnapping our immigrants and assaulting our citizens. It’s past time to work with State Legislature to pass the bills Murphy let lapse:
• Prohibit law enforcement officers from engaging in “racially influenced policing,” including stopping someone based on their actual or suspected citizenship status and asking someone’s immigration status unless relevant to an investigation.
• Bar state, county, and local police from assisting in federal civil immigration enforcement.
• Require law enforcement agencies to create procedures to address certain visa certification requests from potential victims of crime or human trafficking, and post those procedures on their websites.
• Mandate that prosecutors inform criminal defendants of immigration consequences.
• Require law enforcement agencies to annually report their interactions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to be published on the state Attorney General Office’s website.
