New Jersey lawmakers on Monday passed three bills aimed at limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities in the state.

The moves drew sharp Republican criticism as legislators revisited proposals previously vetoed by Democratic former Gov. Phil Murphy, who cited legal concerns. Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill‘s administration has signaled she may be willing to sign them if officials believe they can be successfully defended in court.
One bill (S3521) would codify the state’s 2018 Immigrant Trust Directive, an order by the state Attorney General’s Office that bars local police from assisting federal immigration authorities without a judicial warrant.
Another (S3522) would prohibit state agencies from sharing a person’s immigration status without a warrant. A third (S3114) would bar both local and federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks during interactions with the public in the state.
