New Jersey governor challenges federal authorities over immigrant living on his property

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy challenged federal immigration authorities to arrest an illegal immigrant living on his property. He made the statement during a recent event, highlighting his support for immigrants and New Jersey's status as a sanctuary state. Murphy's administration has implemented policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. This includes allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses and providing housing support. The federal government, under previous administrations, has focused on arresting illegal immigrants with serious criminal records. Recent arrests in Massachusetts included individuals with multiple convictions for violent crimes.
