Alina Habba, a top Trump administration official, launched a bombshell investigation into New Jersey’s Democratic leaders for shielding illegal immigrants. The fiery prosecutor appeared on Fox News to announce she’s targeting Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkin for blocking police cooperation with federal immigration agents. Habba declared open season on politicians who put illegal criminals above American citizens, vowing to charge obstruction against anyone interfering with deportations.
“We’re deporting violent illegals to protect American families,” Habba told Sean Hannity, flanked by a “Back the Blue” flag. She slammed New Jersey’s radical policies that let drug dealers and gang members roam free instead of handing them to ICE. The DOJ’s crackdown comes as border crossings hit record highs, with cartels flooding small towns with fentanyl. Habba warned blue-state traitors: “We will come after you hard.”
New Jersey Republicans cheered the investigation, calling Murphy and Platkin “enemies of public safety.” GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli exposed the Democrats’ secret memo ordering state police to ignore ICE detainer requests. Meanwhile, ICE agents report being stonewalled when trying to remove illegal aliens arrested for assaults, DUIs, and domestic violence.
Habba’s office uncovered at least 37 cases where dangerous criminals were released back onto streets instead of being deported. One illegal immigrant later stabbed a convenience store clerk in Newark. “This blood is on Murphy’s hands,” said a grieving widow whose husband was killed by a twice-deported gang member.
The Trump administration is deploying federal marshals to arrest sanctuary city politicians who violate immigration laws. Attorney General Pam Bondi praised Habba’s “courageous stand” against leftist lawlessness. “We will not allow radical Democrats to turn America into a penal colony for the world’s criminals,” Bondi declared at a “Take Back Our Streets” rally.
Murphy fired back, calling the investigation a “political stunt” and vowing to protect New Jersey’s illegal immigrant population. His administration issued cards letting illegals access welfare benefits and public housing. Platkin accused ICE of “terrorizing communities” by arresting child predators and MS-13 members.
Mainstream Americans are fighting back. Parent groups pack town halls demanding schools stop sheltering illegal immigrant families. Construction workers protest losing jobs to cheap labor. “They’re stealing our paychecks and our security,” said a union ironworker whose cousin overdosed on fentanyl-laced pills.
The White House confirmed President Trump will visit the Mexican border next week to showcase new wall construction. “We’re saving lives every day by removing criminal illegals,” Habba said. “No mercy for traitors who aid and abet this invasion.”
