Prohibits immigration enforcement on certain public lands; appropriates funds.
This bill prohibits the use of publicly owned or controlled lands in New Jersey, such as parking lots, vacant lots, and garages, as staging areas or processing locations for federal immigration enforcement. It directly affects municipalities, counties, and state agencies by restricting how their property can be utilized for immigration operations while allowing existing leases to continue. The legislation requires officials to install signage on affected properties and provides free standardized signs for eligible private landowners like businesses and nonprofits to display similar restrictions. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Community Affairs to publish online information about the rights of tenants and employees regarding federal immigration authority entry on public property.
