Gov. Murphy says an immigrant is living at his mansion
❗ Murphy dares immigration agents to come get her
❗ Urges people to fight back against anti-immigrant policies

Gov. Phil Murphy has dared ICE to raid his multi-million-dollar property, giving the impression that he may be harboring someone who is in the country illegally.
Murphy made the startling admission during an event held by the group “Blue Wave New Jersey” and hosted by Montclair State University on Saturday.
During a broader discussion on issues ranging from illegal immigration to anti-trans policies of the new Trump administration, Murphy dared immigration agents to act.

Murphy said he didn’t want to get into specifics, but someone from their “broader universe” has an immigration status that is “not at the point where they are trying to get it to.”

After discussing it with his wife, Murphy said they decided to let her live above their garage.
Murphy did not reveal the actual legal status of the person living on his property. Not everyone who is not a citizen or a legal resident (green card holder) is unauthorized to be in the country. ICE can still detain people who might have temporary immigration status.

Murphy then added, “Good luck to the feds coming in to try and get her.”
Immigration fight intensifies
The statement comes as immigration agents have conducted multiple actions in New Jersey to arrest individuals who are in the United States illegally.

Murphy has banned state and local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with ICE agents.
President Donald Trump has taken aim at self-described sanctuary cities and states that offer protections to undocumented immigrants.

A recent Justice Department memo ordered federal prosecutors to investigate state or local officials who they believe are interfering with the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration.

The memo warns that government officials could face criminal charges if they do not cooperate with immigration enforcement actions.

Written by Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, prosecutors with the Justice Department’s civil division have been ordered told to identify state and local laws and policies that “threaten to impede” the Trump administration’s immigration efforts and potentially challenge them in court.

Is Murphy breaking the law?
Trump said his crackdown would target criminal offenders but ICE has acknowledged that the raids could nab "collateral arrests," including migrants who do have legal albeit temporary status to be in the country. It was not clear from Murphy's comments whether the resident on his property would fall into this category.

Knowingly harboring an unauthorized immigrant is a criminal offense.
The exact definition of "harboring" has been the subject of multiple legal challenges in recent years.

Under Title 8 and The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), it is illegal to harbor unauthorized immigrants.

Harboring includes providing shelter, food, or other assistance.
The penalties for doing so can range from a fine to up to five years in prison.

He "dares"? Just come and arrest the son of a bitch.

IMO, there’s 19 million + in the US. Why make Murphy a martyr? Just keep moving forward and in the end, he can be charged and she can turn off the lights on the way out…

Just bloviating to get attention and dare ICE in order to get video of her being removed by Trump.

So is she an immigrant waiting on her VISA or citizenship and done all the proper paperwork, and not left the country as required while waiting, or, truly an illegal alien in country that he is harboring.

Send a couple of investigators, with warrants, obtain all the documentation, find out if he's actually harboring someone who's not trying to become a citizen legally.

IF so, then take her out, and just report if he'd have kept his mouth shut they'd never have found her, thank him for his service in helping ICE.....

So, Murphy has figured out the perfect way to keep a Thai hooker in the Governor's Mansion and not get busted.

Clever boy, that Murphy.

why only one?

He desperately wants national recognition. Trump should ignore him.

Be careful who you choose for tenants, Phil. You might get one like this.



How long before her family and extended family move in?

They should drop off a couple hundred more.

If the feds do end up raiding his mansion, I hope they rummage through Mrs. Murphy's underwear looking for illegal aliens.

If she is an immigrant no problem. If she is an"immigrant" then I guess arrest them both.

Thank Murphy for the tip and go arrest the person. Use tape of the bloviating fool to get a warrant.

I like this idea. Make it a thousand… better yet, advertise it as an open invitation to a safe haven.

I defer to any attorneys on this forum but a casual Google search suggests that the governor may be in violation of federal law with his public declaration:

According to "§1324. Bringing in and harboring certain aliens:

"(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;"

The behavior of Democratic political "leaders" never ceases to amaze me!

Whomever the illegal is that Murphy is hiding has got to be going what the fuck are you trying to do Phil? I'm already living in the attic of your fucking garage and now you are ratting me out on national media? Really, are you fucking serious right now?
This is some seriously funny shit to watch happen!

On Fox TV, The idiot's office is saying he was Misinterpreted, meaning, we didn't understand what he meant when he said he was harboring an illegal in his garage attic.

Guess he didn't want that Felony arrest on his record....

Fucking jackass

These people don't think two seconds ahead. Who does this kind of shit? Adolescents and leftists. Juvenile grandstanding to get applause and admiration, with no thought whatsoever of the consequences. Stoopid!!

Phil Murphy’s rep now claims NJ guv is not sheltering migrant at his home — despite daring feds to ‘try to get her’

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s office furiously tried to backpedal Monday after he boasted that he had opened his home to a migrant and taunted the Trump administration “to try to get her.’’

A rep told The Post that the loose-lipped Jersey leader had been “misinterpreted” and that no such situation had occurred — even though Murphy had dared the feds to come after the migrant.

Murphy had boasted during a weekend interview with a liberal organization that he and wife Tammy had opened their home to a female migrant and challenged the feds to do anything about it — as ICE agents continue to carry out sweeping deportation raids across the country.

“I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there’s 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 said Saturday.

“And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”

His incendiary comments created a firestorm, forcing a representative to try to walk them back to The Post.

Murphy was just referring to a legal resident who is in his circle of friends and was worried about President Trump’s return to the White House, the governor’s rep said.

“No one’s ever lived in the home” under those circumstances that the governor described, the representative insisted.

The rep did not explain why Murphy, who lives with his family in a mansion in Middletown, NJ, would dare the Trump administration to go after the woman at his home if she wasn’t there.

I wondered if the governor was just baiting the Feds. It's only his words that indicate the woman actually exists. Perhaps she doesn't, or is actually legally here. Then the Feds mount an operation, complete with SWAT guys, armored vehicles, etc., find the person is legal or completely fictional, and end up looking like Keystone Cops Gestapo/incompetent fools. What a coup that would be for that Governor and the left, all caught on video, News at 6:00...
