Bill overview
This bill codifies a directive from the New Jersey Attorney General aimed at improving trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities. It prohibits law enforcement agencies from targeting individuals based on their immigration status or solely for suspected violations of immigration law. The bill also restricts cooperation with federal immigration authorities unless necessary for an ongoing investigation and mandates specific procedures for processing T- and U-visa requests, as well as providing information to defendants about potential immigration consequences. Furthermore, it requires agencies to report instances of assistance to federal immigration authorities and implement training programs for officers.
