Latino leaders meet with Attorney General Anne Milgram - New Jersey

“A group of Latino leaders welcomed the chance to have a dialogue with state Attorney General Anne Milgram on Saturday concerning her recent order to local law-enforcement agencies to inquire about the immigration status of people they arrest. The leaders, however, have some reservations about the implementation of the directive.

Members of the Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey met with Milgram at the Days Hotel & Conference Center in East Brunswick to discuss the directive, which specifies that police may only ask about someone’s immigration status when they’re being arrested for an indictable offense or for driving while intoxicated. Victims and witnesses are not subject to inquiries.”
