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 aimed at building trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities in New Jersey. The removed law had prohibited police from engaging in racially influenced policing, restricted assistance to federal immigration authorities, and required agencies to notify detained individuals of immigration-related requests. By eliminating these provisions, the bill restores the ability of local law enforcement and prosecutors to make their own decisions regarding immigration matters and removes the requirement to publish annual reports on such assistance.
