The New Jersey Legislature has advanced a series of bills designed to reduce the authority of federal immigration agents within the state. The legislative action came shortly after a woman was fatally shot by ICE officers in Minnesota, sparking nationwide calls for accountability and protests in Newark.

The proposed bills include measures to limit ICE enforcement in sensitive locations, restrict the sharing of personal data with ICE, and codify existing directives that limit local law enforcement's cooperation with ICE. The bills have drawn mixed reactions from lawmakers and residents, with some supporting increased protections and others arguing that ICE targets only violent offenders.

New Jersey Legislature advances series of anti-ICE bills

Well, several pieces of legislation that would reduce the power federal immigration agents have in New Jersey advanced at the Statehouse last night. This action from lawmakers came a day after a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minnesota. News 12 New Jersey's Christine Qualey tells us what these new bills could mean for New Jerseyans if they become law. Several anti-ICE bills advanced in the State Assembly and Senate after a vote Thursday. This one day after 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot by ICE officers in Minneapolis. Good's death led to nationwide calls for accountability, including in Newark, where advocates took to the streets as lawmakers cast their votes in Trenton. State Senator Gordon Johnson sponsored all of the pending legislation. Walking down the street or walking with your family, going to church and being scooped up by some masked men is just unacceptable. The first bill would require the state attorney general to develop policies that limit where ICE officers can carry out enforcement, like churches, schools and courthouses. The second bill would limit the collection and sharing of New Jerseyans' personal data with ICE. We're not going to be sharing information just because they want it. You don't do it with citizens who are here. We're not going to let you do it with people who are undocumented, who have not committed a crime. The issues Republicans News 12 spoke to are divided on the issues. I really don't agree with them going to schools and churches, you know what I'm saying? But if they're trying to get the illegals out, I mean, I don't know what you can do. But state Republicans who voted against the bill say the people ICE is targeting don't need protection. They're not after people who are jaywalking. They're not after people here who are committing small theft matters. They're usually after our most violent criminals. The bad guys. Meanwhile, the third and final bill would codify an already existing directive that limits local law enforcement's ability to assist ICE. They've already been just snatching people from their homes, so I mean, that ain't going to stop nothing. So I mean, they're putting something in place to try to stop something, so I feel like let's just see how far we go. Christine Quayley, News 12 New Jersey.
