Imposes criminal penalties for harboring aliens who have outstanding warrants and are unlawfully present in U.S.

This New Jersey bill (S 4160) makes it a crime to knowingly harbor undocumented immigrants who have active arrest or deportation warrants. It targets individuals who help such people avoid capture by providing shelter, transportation, or other assistance. Violators face a fourth-degree crime charge, punishable by up to 18 months in prison or a $10,000 fine. The law includes an exception for people who were victims of human trafficking during the time they provided assistance.
