New Jersey Sanctuary State Policies At Risk After New ICE Directive Expands Reach of Agents


TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey’s status as a sanctuary state could soon be tested after an order by The Department of Homeland Security removing sanctuary safety from places once viewed as immigration safe-havens.

DHS, late Monday rescinded a 2021 policy that restricted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from making arrests in or near “sensitive” locations, including schools, churches, and healthcare facilities. The policy reversal, enacted through a memo issued by the Trump administration, signals a significant shift in federal immigration enforcement.

The new directive removes restrictions put in place by former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas under President Biden, which were designed to limit enforcement actions in areas where immigrants might seek essential services or protection. Instead, ICE officers are now instructed to use “common sense” when deciding on arrests in these areas, without specific prohibitions.
