The Application
New Jersey's executive order restricts federal immigration officers' access to state property, potentially impeding federal civil immigration enforcement operations. The Trump administration contends this state action unconstitutionally obstructs federal authority; New Jersey asserts the executive order is a legitimate exercise of state control over state assets.
The Conclusion
The case remains active before Judge Georgette Castner in the District of New Jersey following its February 2026 filing, with no ruling yet issued on the preemption question.
