New Jersey's Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill just declared war on President Trump's immigration enforcement by launching a controversial portal designed to weaponize residents against ICE agents conducting lawful deportation operations.
In a brazen move that reeks of obstruction, Sherrill announced the state will create an online system allowing residents to upload videos of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers simply doing their jobs – removing criminal illegal aliens from American communities.
"They have not been forthcoming," Sherrill complained about federal immigration authorities, apparently upset that ICE doesn't need her permission to enforce federal law in the Garden State.
This is the same playbook we've seen from sanctuary state Democrats for years – obstruct, resist, and protect illegal aliens over law-abiding Americans. But under President Trump's second term, the gloves are off when it comes to mass deportations, and liberal governors like Sherrill are panicking.
Another Democrat Obstruction Scheme
Let's call this what it is: a taxpayer-funded surveillance operation designed to intimidate federal law enforcement officers. Sherrill wants New Jersey residents to become informants against the very agents working to make their communities safer by removing dangerous criminals who have no right to be here.
This portal isn't about "transparency" or "accountability" – it's about creating a chilling effect on immigration enforcement. Democrats know they can't stop Trump's deportation machine through legal channels, so they're resorting to harassment and intimidation tactics.
ICE agents are already putting their lives on the line to protect American families from MS-13 gang members, drug dealers, and other criminal aliens. Now they have to worry about being secretly recorded by Democrat activists looking to dox them and their families.
Trump Administration Must Fight Back
The Trump administration needs to make crystal clear that any interference with federal immigration enforcement will have serious consequences. States that obstruct ICE operations should face immediate federal funding cuts and legal action.
Patriots across New Jersey should ask themselves: Why is their governor more concerned with protecting illegal aliens than protecting them? This surveillance portal is just another reminder that Democrats will always choose criminals over citizens when given the choice.
