Bill Summary
This concurrent resolution condemns the decision of President Donald J. Trump to rescind the longstanding federal policy of prohibiting immigration enforcement officers from taking action in sensitive locations, which included: schools; places of worship; hospitals and other healthcare facilities; shelters; relief centers; and public demonstrations, like rallies and protests. These sensitive locations have long been recognized as safe havens essential for public trust and the well-being of our communities. Removing the protected status of these locations undermines this trust and prohibits vulnerable individuals from accessing critical resources and service. This resolution condemns the decision of President Donald J. Trump to rescind longstanding federal policy and reaffirms New Jersey's commitment to providing equal access to essential services.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution strongly condemns President Donald J. Trump's decision to reverse a federal policy that had protected sensitive locations, such as schools, hospitals, and places of worship, from immigration enforcement actions. This policy, which had been in place since 2011 and was expanded in 2021, aimed to ensure that vulnerable individuals could access essential services and participate in community life without fear of immigration enforcement. The resolution argues that removing these protections undermines public trust and discourages immigrants, including U.S. citizen children, from seeking vital resources like medical care and disaster relief, and reaffirms New Jersey's commitment to equal access to essential services for all residents.
