ICE expects more raids — NJ says 'we don't respond to threats' | nj1015.com

 

TRENTON — Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal's office says he's not responding to the possibility
of more raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the wake of the state's new guidelines to law enforcement when handling undocumented people.
