NJ governor signing order banning ICE from launching actions on state properties
Governor Sherrill's order restricts ICE from staging operations on state property without warrants and establishes a portal for residents to report ICE activity statewide.
- On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed an executive order banning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from using state property to launch operations without a judicial warrant, defining state property as office buildings, parking lots, and parking garages.
- Amid a recent spike in ICE activity, federal agents involved in incidents on Feb. 2 and Tuesday prompted the governor to ban ICE from staging on state property.
- The online portal, available in 22 languages, allows residents to upload photos and videos, and the Know Your Rights website offers legal resources, as Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said, `We encourage the public to share photos and videos through our new online portal`.
- NJ Transit announced it will comply with Gov. Sherrill's executive order, with CEO Kris Kolluri confirming adherence, while Greyhound requires judicial warrants for agent access and DHS criticized the order as "legally illiterate," as immigrant-rights groups praised it.
- Other states and federal lawmakers have launched portals and proposed oversight measures, echoing New Jersey's approach as DHS statistics show nearly 400,000 arrests with less than 14% charged or convicted of violent crimes.
