Repeals codification of AG directive, "Strengthening Trust Between Law Enforcement and Immigrant Communities."
This bill repeals a previous law that codified an Attorney General directive regarding interactions between law enforcement and immigrant communities. By removing this statute, the legislation restores the ability of New Jersey police officers to assist federal immigration authorities and engage in conduct previously restricted by the directive. The repeal also eliminates requirements for agencies to notify detained individuals of immigration requests, publish annual reports on such assistance, and inform defendants of potential immigration consequences during legal proceedings. Ultimately, the bill returns control over these specific policing and prosecutorial decisions to local authorities rather than binding them to state-mandated guidelines.
