The New Jersey State Assembly has approved a bill that, if enacted, would bar the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the region’s airports and seaports, from assisting federal authorities in enforcing President Donald Trump’s recent attempts to bar citizens from several predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
In a 48-25 vote split along party lines on Thursday, the Assembly approved S3006. It passed the Senate in a 22-13 vote on Feb. 13. It now goes to Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a staunch Trump supporter who is expected to veto the measure, but did not respond to a request for comment Friday.
