Blue state in battle over AG's illegal immigration dictate that 'handcuffs' police

A group of New Jersey Republicans is trying to reverse a directive from the state's liberal district attorney general that "handcuffs" local law enforcement cooperation with ICE agents.

"The New Jersey Attorney General’s directive handcuffs law enforcement and, overall, undermines public safety, placing citizens at risk by creating a separate class of people who are permitted to flagrantly break the law and undermine U.S. sovereignty," the lawmakers said in a statement.  Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics.

New Jersey is one of the states most overwhelmed by illegal migrant arrivals in recent months. This year, buses of undocumented migrants have been dropped off at various NJ Transit train stations, New Jersey officials have said. Many of the migrant families being dropped off there have then made their own trek to New York City.
