Trenton NJ, Earlier this year, Governor Phil Murphy’s administration ordered local law enforcement officials to stop cooperating with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents when detaining criminals who are also illegal immigrants.
Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested more than 50 illegal immigrants and issued wanted posters for several more who were intentionally released from prisons under the Governor’s Administration’s directive. Among those released were two men charged with domestic violence and a man arrested for alleged sexual assault on a minor child.
“Government can’t afford to be reckless. It can’t pay for progressive platitudes with the health, safety and welfare of battered women and sexually abused children. This is Phil Murphy putting his political agenda ahead of the public’s safety. It’s wrong and it must end. The Governor and the Attorney General should encourage cooperation between law enforcement agencies at all levels. Instead, they weaponize the Attorney General’s office and are taking aim at our County Sheriffs. Millions of innocent New Jerseyans depend on Law Enforcement to keep them safe from predators, drug dealers and violent criminals. We cheapen all of their lives when we play politics with them.”
The NJGOP has been actively encouraging every municipality and county to pass a resolution to put public safety first. The NJGOP has offered to provide local elected officials whatever tools we have to assert their right to govern locally.
What bullshit. What a bedtime to be a cop they can’t even do their job anymore. Why because their hands are tied politically. No wonder they’re all stressed out. Or some of them just say screw it. What a mess we are in.
Don’t worry… Ridgewood won’t support the police nor the legal residents.

They’ll come down on the side of the illegals and criminals.

For Ridgewood to pass this kind of resolution goes against what their #1 priority is: parking tickets. Speeding, illegal turns, jaywalking, and drivers on cellphones are some of the scofflaws RPD could cite. Instead, we have more meter maids, increased parking meter rates, and longer time for meters to be in effect – all to raise $$ and not keep pedestrians and drivers safe. They just want to pick the low hanging fruit and build parking garages.
she was out in force this morning at writing those tickets
