Target: Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey State Legislature, and local law enforcement agencies
Goal: Urge state leaders and lawmakers to uphold New Jersey’s Immigrant Trust Directive, resist political intimidation, and continue fostering trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement.
New Jersey’s Immigrant Trust Directive is a cornerstone of community safety and justice. By drawing a clear line between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement, the Directive ensures that all residents—regardless of immigration status—can report crimes, seek help, and participate in civic life without fear of deportation. This policy has been upheld by federal courts and has made New Jersey one of the safest and most diverse states in the nation.
Recent threats of criminal investigation from federal officials and political figures are attempts to undermine these protections and stigmatize immigrant communities. These threats are not based on evidence or public safety needs, but on political theater that risks eroding trust and making everyone less safe.
We call on New Jersey’s leaders to remain steadfast in defending the Immigrant Trust Directive, to reject any efforts to conflate immigration status with criminality, and to continue building a state where everyone can live without fear. Immigrants are vital to our communities, our economy, and our shared future. Let’s ensure New Jersey remains a beacon of inclusion and safety for all.
Key Demands
- Uphold and enforce the Immigrant Trust Directive, ensuring local law enforcement is not used for federal immigration enforcement.
