A federal appeals court has ruled that New Jersey’s ban on private immigration detention contracts is unconstitutional, dealing a blow to state leaders and advocates who have long fought to curb U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's footprint in the Garden State.

In the 2-1 decision, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals found that New Jersey’s 2021 law blocking ICE from contracting with private companies unlawfully interfered with federal immigration enforcement, in violation of the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause.

Sounds like that might have broad applications

Stephanos Bibas was appointed by President Donald Trump. The judge who joined him in the majority opinion, Judge Cheryl Ann Krause, is an Obama appointee.

The stooge who voted for the illegals is Thomas L. Ambro, a senior moment stooge who was appointed by "Rapin' Bill" Clinton, patron of Epstein's Lolita Express and admirer of underage girls.

In the original case, which New Jersey appealed, burning through good NJ taxpayer dollars, even Biden appointee Robert Kirsch knew enough to rule against the New Jersey government scum who think that border jumpers are A-OK.

Basically the Supremacy Clause has the widest applications.

President Trump is beating sanctuary cities and States over the head with the Supremacy Clause. Leaves the mayors and governors powerless.

I’m curious if the feds get to recover costs from the states in these cases.

The rest of the story:

The ruling affirms a lower court’s decision in favor of CoreCivic and clears the way for the company to renew its contract to detain immigrants at the 300-person Elizabeth Detention Center.

The ruling could have national implications for other states such as California and Illinois, which have passed similar laws aimed at phasing out private immigration detention.
