Lefty New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill urged residents to film ICE agents operating in their neighborhoods and upload the videos to a state “portal” she vowed to launch.
“If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out,” the Democrat, just eight days into her first term as governor of the Garden State, said in a sit-down interview with The Daily Show host Desi Lydic Wednesday night.
Sherill’s administration will soon be launching a “portal,” she said, so New Jerseyans “can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people” about local immigration operations.
It was unclear how much this portal would cost Garden State taxpayers to launch.
“They will pick people up, they will not tell us who they are … they’ll pick up American citizens,” she said of the feds.
“They picked up a five-year-old child,” Sherill continued during the segment, which did not air on TV but was later uploaded to YouTube by the show.
Sherrill’s office was mum on the exact details of the database when contacted by The Post.
“Keeping New Jerseyans safe is Governor Sherrill’s top priority and, in the coming days, she and Acting Attorney General Davenport will announce additional actions to protect New Jerseyans from federal overreach,” spokesperson Sean Higgins said in a statement.
“We want documentation, and we are going to make sure we get it.”
Sherrill also announced that her administration plans to provide information to educate New Jerseyans on their rights in the state.
Sherill’s announcement comes as President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, vowed on Thursday that far-left groups funding and coordinating attacks on ICE agents and operations will be held accountable.”
“Justice is coming,” Homan declared in a press conference.
Growing networks of anti-ICE agitators have been banding together across the country to tail ICE agents, document and observe their activities, and alert other protesters to their whereabouts.
The border czar was deployed to Minnesota this week in an effort to calm tensions after the shooting deaths of ICU nurse Alex Pretti and mother-of-three Renee Nicole Good by federal agents.
Homan also denounced the harsh rhetoric directed at ICE and other immigration law enforcement officers from Minnesota and across the country.
“I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March — if the rhetoric doesn’t stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn’t right. I don’t want to see anybody die,” Homan said.
Sherrill, meanwhile, compared ICE to secret police forces she saw in other countries when she served in the Navy.
“We saw people in the street with masks and no insignia. So not accountable at all, hiding from the population – and we saw again and again an undermining of what law enforcement should do to keep people safe,” she said on the Daily Show.
