NEW JERSEY ATTORNEY GENERAL TO COPS:
IGNORE "ICE",
HELP ILLEGAL ALIENS FLEE

The attorney general of New Jersey has made it official: The state will be a virtual sanctuary for illegal aliens.
Gurbir S. Grewal, shown, the state’s top law-enforcement officer and the son of Indian immigrants, published a directive last week,
effective March 15, that forbids state and local police from helping
Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Moreover, state and local
authorities will not honor ICE detainers. That means localities can
simply release illegal aliens back into the community.
Middlesex County adopted such a policy and released an illegal alien
whom police had collared for domestic violence. The illegal alien went
to Springfield, Missouri, police and ICE allege, and murdered three people.
Grewal is apparently unconcerned that it will happen again.
The Order
Grewal’s subversive “Directive
Strengthening Trust Between Law Enforcement and Immigrant Communities”
avers that “individuals are less likely to report a crime if they fear
that the responding officer will turn them over to immigration
authorities."
So cops can ignore ICE when it needs help, wrote the Sikh attorney general:
[Police] are not responsible for enforcing civil immigration
violations except in narrowly defined circumstances. Such
responsibilities instead fall to the federal government. ...
Although state, county, and local law enforcement officers should
assist federal immigration authorities when required to do so by law ...
providing assistance above and beyond those requirements threatens to
blur the distinctions between state and federal actors and between
federal immigration law and state criminal law. It also risks
undermining the trust we have built with the public.
In keeping with that leftist talking point, the attorney general
stated that state and local police need not honor detainers from ICE
because they are not warrants signed by federal or state judges.
The order does not forbid state and local authorities from “imposing
their own additional restrictions on providing assistance to federal
immigration authorities, so long as those restrictions do not violate
federal or state law or impede the enforcement of state criminal law.”
Indeed, Grewal “does not mandate that law enforcement officials provide
assistance in any particular circumstance, even when, by the terms of
the Directive, they are permitted to do so.”
That, of course, was Middlesex’s policy when it released the illegal alien suspected of murdering three people.
No Cooperation
The order forbids local police
from helping immigration enforcement with a long list of no-nos.
State
and local cops cannot “stop, question, arrest, search, or detain any
individual” because he is a suspected illegal alien. Nor can they
inquire about an individual’s immigration status unless an investigation
warrants it.
Nor can state or local officials provide ICE with “non-public
personally identifying information regarding any individual,” or office
space or equipment or data, or permit interviews with illegal aliens
unless they consent.
Even worse, state and local officials cannot tell ICE
about an illegal alien’s release from custody unless he has been
charged with or convicted of a “violent or serious offense,” or has been
“convicted of an indictable crime other than a violent or serious
offense” within the past five years, or “is subject to a Final Order of
Removal that has been signed by a federal judge and lodged with the
county jail or state prison where the detainee is being held.”
State and local authorities cannot honor a detainer and keep an
illegal alien in jail past the time he would normally be released unless
the illegal fits those same categories. And “such detention may last
only until 11:59 pm on the calendar day on which the person would
otherwise have been eligible for release.”
Whether the illegal-alien murder suspect
Middlesex loosed
upon the good people of Springfield, Missouri, would now be released
given the details in this directive is open to question. Grewal’s
directive lists domestic violence. But ICE had a detainer, not a
judicial warrant.
One practical result of the subversive order is this: A two-time
drunk-driving illegal alien cannot be held for deportation in New Jersey
because drunk driving is traffic violation.
So a good liberal county such as Middlesex could, pursuant to its own
policy and the attorney general’s order, ignore an ICE detainer and
release the drunk. Then he’d be free to kill a little girl or NFL star when he tunes up and gets behind the wheel again.
