JERSEY CITY, NJ — Today, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy released the following statement regarding public safety, law enforcement coordination, and the protections outlined in New Jersey’s Immigrant Trust Directive:
“By now, we have all seen the tragic events in many American cities, including Minneapolis, Chicago, and towns right here in New Jersey. The New Jersey Attorney General guidelines outlined in the Immigrant Trust Directive prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
“As County Executive, I have a standing agreement with the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office to alert my administration and the Board of Commissioners if federal immigration authorities are conducting operations in our county parks and facilities. All county officials must and will work together to ensure the safety of Hudson County residents.”
