The Trump administration is doubling down on efforts to overturn sanctuary policies in the state.

In a new court filing, the Justice Department is asking federal judges to reconsider previous rulings that have upheld the 2018 Immigrant Trust Directive, which put limits on how state and local law enforcement can assist immigration agents.

As first reported by NJ Monitor, the court filings argue that the quote "current crisis" of illegal immigration in the U.S. warrants another look at the policy.

The Trump administration has sued Patterson, Hoboken, Jersey City and Newark over local policies it argues are even more restrictive than the state's.

Meanwhile, more ICE arrests were reported in Maplewood Monday morning.

Video from a witness shows a heated confrontation between the man recording and agents on a quiet neighborhood street.

The mayor says ICE arrived in unmarked cars and arrested two men around 11 a.m.

Meanwhile, Monday's decision from the U.S. Supreme Court could lead to even more arrests around the country as it allows ICE agents for now to stop and question people about their immigration status based solely on factors like their ethnicity.
