President Donald Trump's longtime legal counsel and appointee as U.S. attorney for New Jersey announced Thursday she will launch a probe into Gov. Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkin over reports that state police were asked to ignore new immigration warrants.
Alina Habba said on "Hannity" she decided to launch the probe following a Shore News Network report that an internal memo from New Jersey State Police (NJSP) Col. Patrick Callahan revealed Murphy and Platkin ordered that officers not pursue thousands of immigration warrants recently added to the National Crime Information Center.
The move was reportedly meant to be in line with former Attorney General Gurbir Grewal’s 2018 "Immigration Trust Directive," which limited the types of voluntary assistance state and local police could offer the feds.
"We know that the governor has on his website, currently, dos and don'ts for his local state of law enforcement. Those dos and don'ts instruct them not to cooperate with illegal immigrants who have administrative warrants that have been issued by the court after due process," Habba said.
"It is instructing them to go against our federal rules, our executive orders."
She said her new probe into Murphy and Platkin should be a warning to all other state leaders that if they hinder the FBI, DEA or other federal law enforcement agencies, they will be held accountable.

Nov 7 - New Jersey governor says he’ll ‘fight to the death’ against Trump actions ‘contrary to values’
BTTT
If this is the hill, the governor wants to die on, so be it. Alina is not going to back down. I have far more faith in her than I do in Pam Bondi.
She needs to switch places with Pam.
weird how libs can ignore gov orders, BUT, they demand that pres Trump obey to the letter every order that comes down the pike when judges overstep their authority-
I have come to the conclusion that all hard core Democrats hate this country, hate good people and hate God!!!
The hypocrisy of the lefties is blatantly obvious at this point.
That’s because they’re demons sent from hell itself.
I had to read this twice and I still came up with the same interpretation. “ Those dos and don’ts instruct them not to cooperate with illegal immigrants who have administrative warrants that have been issued by the court after due process,”. That LEO don’t help illegal immigrants.
Buck-tooth Murphy’s term is over and he’s causing a much angst as possible across as many issues as possible. He’s just another liberal scumbag punishing the plebes where ever he can. I’ve been in this state my whole life and it’s always been the same, regardless of party affiliation. BOHICA is an everyday thing.
Meanwhile, in California:
“Trump’s New California U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli Says He Will Fight Sanctuary State Policies, Signals Prosecution for “Anyone” who Interferes with Immigration Law as Leftist Officials Defy ICE”
Same deal in California where lefty pols like Gov Newsom and AG Bonta will fight to the death to keep violent illegal gang members and criminals protected from deportation, up to providing them with taxpayer funded lawyers to defend them.
These entrenched, corrupt pols, in CA and NJ who put the “rights” of illegals ahead of American’s safety need to be prosecuted and jailed.
