The New Jersey Democratic governor ordered the State Police departments to stop cooperating with immigration officials.
The orders came from the Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, and New Jersey Attorney Matt Pathin, according to the Trust Directive of Immigrants in New Jersey, said Shore News Network.
Murphy’s directive occurred immediately after the incorporation of the Trump administration of 27,000 “outstanding administrative orders for the removal of the United States” to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) of the FBI while the administration works to comply with the president’s immigration orders.
“These administrative messages appear in NCIC in a method that all members must notice that they should not be transmitted as’ Hits NCIC”, “Colonel Patrick Callahan, of the New Jersey State Police, wrote in an internal memorandum.” They are not allowed to communicate NJDSP members through the telephone numbers. “
The American prosecutor of the New Jersey district, Alina Haba, retreated the directives, he thought, warning New Jersey officials in an X position, saying: “Let me be clear: Executive orders will be followed and applied in the state of New Jersey.”
Callahan’s memorandum is in line with the 2018 New Jersey Immigrant Trust Directive that prohibits the agencies for the application of the state law that work with the federal agencies of application of the law.
Callahan also said that the police should not alert ICE, just when they meet some on the alert list or find them in the normal course of their duties and pointed out that the help with NCIC orders is not allowed by state law.
Callahan’s memo says:
A sample of how messages of administrative thesis order in NCIC is attached. All members must take into account that they should not be transmitted as ‘Hits NCIC’, which would lead our members to believe that they are obliged to judge the issue. As the Immigrant Trust Directive of the Attorney General describes, we must not judge the subjects on the “pending administrative order” entries, even if other entries are tested. In addition, upon receiving the notification of a “pending administrative order”, NJSP members cannot contact ICE through the telephone numbers tested.
“PSTS members must pay special attention to the lack of ‘outstanding administrative order’ in the NCIC message, so to the Directive of the Attorney General 2018-6,” adds the Memo.
“Taking measures to apply the law stopping a subject based solely on an” outstanding administrative order “would violate the Immigration Trust of the Attorney General mentioned above,” concludes the memorandum.
