History

Historical Context

California's Senate Bill 54, enacted in 2018, limited state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement to protect undocumented immigrants, reflecting a growing trend of state resistance against federal immigration policies. Governor Mikie Sherrill's recent initiative in New Jersey echoes this movement, aiming to enhance oversight of ICE activities, potentially escalating tensions between state and federal authorities over immigration enforcement practices.
