President Trump's Department of Justice just delivered a knockout punch to New Jersey's sanctuary state agenda, filing a federal lawsuit against Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill for her executive order blocking Immigration and Customs Enforcement from accessing state property without warrants.
The lawsuit, announced Tuesday, charges New Jersey with three counts of violating the supremacy clause of the Constitution – the fundamental principle that federal law trumps state interference. Sherrill's order prohibits ICE agents from entering non-public areas of state-owned facilities unless they have judicial warrants, effectively creating another sanctuary state obstacle to Trump's mass deportation agenda.
Constitutional Showdown Brewing
This legal action represents exactly the kind of swift, decisive response patriots voted for when they returned Trump to the White House. No more games. No more sanctuary city nonsense. The federal government has constitutional authority over immigration enforcement, and Democrat governors can't simply ignore the law because they don't like it.
Sherrill's executive order is a textbook example of state overreach designed to protect illegal immigrants from federal law enforcement. While American families struggle with the economic and safety impacts of unchecked illegal immigration, Democrat politicians are literally rolling out red carpets for lawbreakers.
"The supremacy clause makes it crystal clear – federal immigration law supersedes state interference," a DOJ source familiar with the case explained.
Attorney General Pam Bondi's Justice Department is sending an unmistakable message to every sanctuary jurisdiction in America: obstruct federal immigration enforcement at your own legal peril. This administration won't tolerate the kind of lawless resistance that plagued Trump's first term.
Mass Deportation Moving Forward
The New Jersey lawsuit signals that Trump's promise of the largest deportation operation in American history is gaining serious momentum. Every sanctuary policy that hampers ICE operations will face swift legal challenges under this administration.
Democrats can cry about "compassion" all they want, but the Constitution is the Constitution. Federal immigration law doesn't become optional just because progressive governors throw temper tantrums. How many more sanctuary jurisdictions will it take before Democrats learn that obstruction has consequences?
