In remarks to the news media, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (see right) implied that he and his wife are harboring an immigrant in a room above their garage who may be an illegal alien. "And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her," Murphy said.
Are armed New Jersey state police protecting the woman in question? Is there an implied threat of armed resistance here? As far as I know, a governor’s residence is not like an American embassy overseas. It can be searched with a warrant signed by a magistrate or judge (see also the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago). If the woman in question is an illegal alien, especially an illegal alien with a deportation order, and Governor Murphy and his wife are knowingly shielding her from ICE, then they are breaking federal law. This may be the opportunity for the new administration to stand behind its FAFO policy. Contrary to declarations by Democrats who turned a blind eye to the criminal acts of the Biden family, they clearly believe that some individuals are indeed above the law.
An ICE raid on the governor’s home would certainly be “must-see-TV”. I have the necessary popcorn on hand to enjoy the festivities. Perp-walking and booking the governor and his wife for violating federal immigration law would be delightful to see.
Dear Tom Homan, please make this happen.

This kind of arrogance is unacceptable. Lock 'em up!

As NJ resident I can report that our Governor usually winters at his Italian villa ... a 23 room mansion north of Rome. It's good to be a gazillionaire. So ... entertaining as it might be ... I doubt ICE would find him at home.

Extradition would be even better!

Who put the tennis court that far from the house? And where's the formal garden? Probably laid out by Michelangelo Buonarroti's cousin Tony.

He should treat his mother-in-law with more respect.
