Overview
This bill seeks to repeal a law enacted in 2026 (P.L.2026, c.5) that aimed to improve trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities in New Jersey. The original law restricted certain law enforcement practices, such as providing assistance to federal immigration authorities, and mandated specific notification procedures. Sponsors believe this law impedes federal authority and local decision-making. Consequently, the bill proposes to remove this codified directive from New Jersey’s legal code.
