SR 58 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill (SR 58) directs New Jersey's Attorney General to repeal and modify a 2018 law enforcement directive that limited local police cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It specifically removes restrictions preventing state/local law enforcement from sharing immigration status information with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), while preserving protections for T-Visa (human trafficking victims) and U-Visa (crime victim) certifications. The resolution aims to enable law enforcement to share immigration status details without legal barriers, citing concerns about community safety and coordination with federal agencies. It does not create new laws but directs the Attorney General to update existing policy, with exceptions for victim protection provisions.
