Washington DC – March 21, 2026
Once a reliable blue-collar state with strong borders and common sense, New Jersey has descended into full sanctuary-state madness under new Democratic leadership. In a stunning move Friday, Governor Mikie Sherrill and Attorney General Jennifer Davenport filed a federal lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security to stop the Trump administration from converting a vacant warehouse in Roxbury Township into a much-needed immigration detention center.
The proposed facility would house up to 1,500 detainees. Sherrill declared the location “inappropriate,” claiming it poses risks to water, sewage, public safety, and the environment — while ignoring the real crisis of illegal immigration overwhelming the state. She and local officials accused ICE of rushing the project without enough consultation, even though the warehouse was quietly purchased for this exact purpose.
Who is Governor Mikie Sherrill? A former Navy helicopter pilot, federal prosecutor, and ex-Congresswoman from New Jersey’s 11th District, Sherrill was sworn in as the state’s 57th governor in January 2026 after defeating a Trump-endorsed Republican. Once marketed as a moderate, she has quickly aligned with the radical open-borders wing of the Democratic Party.
Critics say this lawsuit is pure political theater. While New Jersey struggles with high taxes, crime, and the consequences of sanctuary policies that protect criminal illegal aliens, Sherrill prioritizes blocking federal enforcement over securing communities. The move signals that Democrats in the Garden State would rather tie up ICE in court than help remove illegal immigrants — including those with criminal records.
New Jersey used to put American citizens first. Under leaders like Sherrill, it now fights the federal government to keep detention capacity low and illegal immigration flowing. Voters are waking up to the damage: skyrocketing costs, strained resources, and eroded public safety. The question remains — what the hell happened to New Jersey?
