Acting U.S. District Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba said she is launching an investigation into the states governor and attorney general for their reported refusal to cooperate with President Donald Trumps immigration crackdown.
Habba, Trumps one-time personal lawyer and spokesperson who was appointed as acting U.S. attorney March 24 after serving as White House counselor, dropped the bombshell Thursday on Sean Hannitys Fox News show. She claimed that the Gov. Phil Murphy and New Jersey state Attorney General Matthew Platkin urged state police not to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
And unfortunately, I will announce on your show tonight, Sean, and I want it to be a warning for everybody that I have instructed my office today to open an investigation into Governor Murphy, to open an investigation into Attorney General Platkin, who was also instructed the state police not to assist any of our federal
agencies under that are under my direction
she said.
It comes after the Democratic governor allegedly told his troopers to ignore thousands of arrest warrants listed on a federal database. Shore News Network reported that the directive came from both Murphy and Platkin.
The pair appear to be following the law rather than stymying ICE progress. In 2018, a landmark statewide policy designed to strengthen trust between New Jerseys law enforcement officers and immigrants was enacted. The Immigrant Trust Directive ensures that victims and witnesses feel safe reporting crimes to local police without fear of deportation.
