SR 77 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs AG to repeal and amend certain provisions of directive restricting law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

This Senate Resolution (SR 77) directs New Jersey's Attorney General to repeal most provisions of the 2018 Law Enforcement Directive that limited local police cooperation with federal immigration authorities (ICE). It specifically preserves protections for victims of trafficking and crime (T-Visa/U-Visa certifications) while modifying the directive to allow law enforcement to share immigration status information with federal agencies when necessary. The change would permit police to ask questions related to visa certifications and exchange immigration status details with federal officials without legal restrictions. This affects all New Jersey state, county, and local law enforcement agencies that previously operated under the 2018 restrictions. The resolution aims to remove barriers to coordination with ICE for public safety purposes, while maintaining existing victim protection protocols.
