DHS torches New Jersey’s profane ‘F---ICE Act’ as assaults on agents skyrocket 1,300%

By Fox News · Fox News

EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security slammed a new vulgar New Jersey bill aimed at punishing federal immigration enforcement in the Garden State, highlighting several victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants that officials say lawmakers are ignoring. Earlier this week, Assemblymembers Ravinder Bhalla and Katie Brennan, both Hoboken Democrats, drafted the "F---ICE Act" — with the profane acronym spelled out — that would allow civil action to be taken against immigration enforcement agents. The bill was reportedly drafted after a Democratic Socialist councilman from neighboring Jersey City was rebuked by a federal agent when he arrived at the scene of a raid on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, where an agent told him: "I don’t need a warrant, bro." "This is a disgusting bill just meant to demonize our officers who are experiencing a highly coordinated campaign of violence against our law enforcement," Deputy Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.

Bis warned that anyone who lays hands on officers or tries to obstruct their operations "is committing a felony and a federal crime." "What these New Jersey sanctuary lawmakers are trying to do is unlawful, and they know it. Federal officials acting in the course of their duties are immune from liability under state law," she said. Fox News Digital reached out to the New Jersey Assembly Majority Office for comment from Bhalla and Brennan. Bis later added that New Jersey is the same state that "allowed a criminal illegal alien onto American streets who killed a mother and 11-year-old daughter while drunk driving."
