Never fear: Phil Murphy, defender of the downtrodden, is here!
Embattled New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy recently suggested he and his taxpayer-funded security detail may have thwarted Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from arresting illegal immigrants congregating near his $10 million Middletown mansion.
“There was a time when ICE was just randomly showing up on street corners and apprehending … brothers and sisters from the immigrant community,” Murphy said in press conference held a day after President Trump’s election victory.
He claimed he caught wind of a neighborhood that was “at-risk” of an immigration enforcement sweep, and that he put himself — and his New Jersey State Police bodyguards — between authorities and illegal migrants.
“I just went there one night with my [security] detail and just hung out there,” he said, adding that federal agents never showed up.
“Whether that scared them off or not I don’t know, but it’s an example of a small step that we’re willing to try anything if it’s contrary to our values,” he said.
In the same news conference, Murphy vowed the Garden State would “fight to the death” to impede Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown, while leaving the door open a hair’s breadth by promising to seize “common ground” should an opportunity arise.

Is this the RAT who keeps his toilet cleaner in a room over his garage?
“This clymer will have all the security he wants while in the big house. Not a problem.”
I see him getting a visit from the US Marshals in the near future.
What a pathetic dickhead...
clear obstruction of justice.
Exactly.
Such a mouthy little punk. I’m an out-of-shape old lady, and I could probably take him.
“Toilet cleaner”? Yeah, right. Probably a sex slave.
