A ‘sanctuary state’ Democrat governor who bragged about sheltering an illegal alien in his home to keep ICE from coming after her is now in hot water with a Trump-appointed attorney.
From the New York Times: Alina Habba, who has used her job as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor to aggressively target Democrats, is pursuing an investigation into remarks made by Gov. Philip D. Murphy about housing a migrant, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Mr. Murphy said in February that he was prepared to house a woman whose immigration status was unclear at his family’s home in Middletown. F.B.I. agents have since sought to interview at least four witnesses in connection with the comments, two of the people said, with one adding that the governor had been subpoenaed but not questioned.
Ms. Habba, the interim U.S. attorney in New Jersey, is a former personal lawyer for President Trump. She previously announced that she was directing prosecutors in her office to investigate the governor and New Jersey’s attorney general, Matthew J. Platkin, in connection with the state’s immigration policies.
In February, while speaking with Blue Wave New Jersey, a progressive grassroots organization, Murphy bragged about sheltering an illegal alien.
“Tammy and I were talking about… I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to. And we said, you know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage,” the Democrat governor declared, adding, “And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her!”
