Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Administration Sues New Jersey Over Restrictions on Immigration Arrests
Caption: Trump Administration Sues New Jersey Over Restrictions on Immigration Arrests. The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against New Jersey, challenging restrictions on federal immigration arrests. The lawsuit targets a February 11 executive order by Gov. Mikie Sherrill that limits federal immigration agents' actions on state property. Sherrill’s order prohibits federal agents from making arrests in nonpublic areas like courthouses and correctional facilities. The Justice Department claims the executive order obstructs federal immigration enforcement and discriminates against federal law. Gov. Sherrill and the state attorney general argue that the lawsuit is a waste of resources and that New Jersey is protecting its immigrant communities. This lawsuit is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to challenge state and local sanctuary laws aimed at limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. In 2025, the Justice Department sued cities and states like Minnesota, Colorado, New York, and Los Angeles over similar sanctuary policies. Last year, the Trump administration also sued several New Jersey cities for their sanctuary policies, with the case still pending.
