TRENTON, N.J. -- The Trump administration is suing New Jersey over a state order that prohibits federal immigration agents from making arrests in nonpublic areas of state property, such as correctional facilities and courthouses.
The Justice Department lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court in Trenton, challenges Gov. Mikie Sherrill s Feb. 11 executive order, which also bars the use of state property as a staging or processing area for immigration enforcement.
Sherrill, a Democrat who took office Jan. 20, insists on harboring criminal offenders from federal law enforcement, the lawsuit said, accusing her of attempting to obstruct federal law enforcement and thwart President Donald Trumps immigration crackdown.
Sherrills executive order poses an intolerable obstacle to immigration enforcement and directly regulates and discriminates against the federal government, said the lawsuit, which misspelled her name as Sherill. Asked about the lawsuit Tuesday, Sherrill said: What I think the federal government needs to be focused on right now, instead of attacking states like New Jersey working to keep people safe, is actually training their ICE agents."

Our Administrations deported as many as Three million a year, which is 60,000 per week. These clowns aren't reaching those numbers and are wasting money doing it. Few people are opposed to criminals like Meliana getting deported but most object to hardworking people getting abducted and carted off without proper Due Process.
