New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, elected in a landslide, has embraced a notably more aggressive, national-tinged stance in her first 100 days, taking on the Trump administration on immigration and funding for the Gateway project, clashing with fellow Democrats over budget and tax plans, and proposing World Cup–related revenue moves—positioning herself as a bold Blue-state counterweight even as critics question results and routine governance.

Murphy veto blocks codification of NJ’s immigrant protections

Outgoing New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy vetoed a package that would codify permanent restrictions on state/local cooperation with ICE, saying the bills could undermine protections for immigrant communities; the Immigrant Trust Directive remains in effect and will likely continue under incoming Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill, who has signaled tweaks may come. The vetoes blocked NJ A6310 (24R) and A6309 (24R) while Murphy signed A6308 (24R) directing the attorney general to publish model policies for sensitive sites. A6310 would have made 287(g) agreements permanent and tightened data-sharing restrictions, but Murphy warned the measure could invite new court challenges. Immigration groups criticized the move; the dispute comes amid ongoing scrutiny of ICE following a Minnesota shooting.
