The resolution directs the Attorney General of New Jersey to repeal and amend certain provisions of the Attorney General Law Enforcement Directive No. 2018-6, which was established on November 29, 2018. This directive imposed strict limitations on the ability of state, county, and local law enforcement to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The resolution expresses concerns that these restrictions hinder law enforcement's ability to protect citizens, especially in light of the growing undocumented immigrant population in New Jersey, which is now the fifth largest in the United States. It highlights the need for better coordination between law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, particularly when individuals who are in the country illegally commit crimes.

The resolution specifically calls for the repeal of the directive while maintaining certain provisions related to T-Visa and U-Visa certifications, which are designed to protect victims of human trafficking and other crimes. It emphasizes that law enforcement agencies should be allowed to inquire about immigration status and share information with federal authorities without legal barriers. The sponsors of the resolution argue that the safety of New Jersey's communities, schools, and hospitals should be the top priority, and that law enforcement must have the necessary tools to fulfill their responsibilities effectively.
