Bill overview
This bill prohibits New Jersey municipalities and counties from establishing ‘sanctuary city’ policies that would prevent cooperation with federal immigration enforcement requests. It also establishes ethics violations for state and local employees who fail to comply with such requests. Furthermore, the bill provides legal defense and indemnification for state employees facing civil actions related to their cooperation with federal immigration authorities, while amending existing ethics regulations for local government officials and employees.
