New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal on Thursday sharply limited the assistance that all state, county and local law enforcement officers may offer to federal immigration authorities—specifically U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The move illustrates the deep policy differences between the state's Democratic administration and those of Republican President Donald Trump, who has taken an aggressive approach toward immigration enforcement.
“The new rules are designed to strengthen trust between New Jersey law enforcement officers and the state's diverse immigrant communities,” the Attorney General's Office said in a statement.
