New Jersey Governor Under Investigation for Allegedly Shielding Violent Illegal Immigrants
The Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, has initiated an investigation into the state’s Democratic Governor, Phil Murphy. The probe follows Murphy’s directive prohibiting state police from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement agencies.
Habba emphasized the importance of compliance with federal law, stating that the Trump administration has made it clear that violent criminals should be removed from the country. During an appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity, she highlighted that this oversight could lead to serious consequences for those involved in obstructing federal enforcement actions.
Specifically, the investigation will scrutinize Governor Murphy and New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin for their alleged instructions to state law enforcement regarding federal immigration collaboration. The directive aims to limit the cooperation of state and local police with federal authorities under certain circumstances.
