New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday that the Garden State would set aside more than $2 million to provide legal aid for low-income immigrants facing deportation.
The first-year Democrat announced the allocation in the current fiscal year's budget hours before a federal judge barred the Trump administration from enforcing a recently enacted rule denying asylum to anyone who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
"Families who came to New Jersey for a better life do not deserve to be torn apart by the federal government's cruel and discriminatory policies," Murphy said in a statement.
The budget agreement calls for $925,000 to go to Legal Services of New Jersey and the American Friends Service Committee. Legal Services is a nonprofit that helps low-income residents. The Friends committee is a Quaker, immigrants-rights organization. Rutgers and Seton Hall's law schools will also each get $125,000.

State sponsored sedition.
New Jersey...you get the government you deserve!
Right — because this state needs even more Asians and Latin Americans who don’t know the first thing about driving in a snowstorm last week.
They will be taking it from the snow plow fund.
Trump has not refused asylum to anyone, even the illegal entrants in this country.
What he did was refuse to allow them to begin the process to APPLY for asylum. After the illegals are deported they are free to enter our country at a designated port and apply for asylum in the way allowed by our immigrantion laws.
And yet Trenton will cry that there’s no money to ‘do the people’s business’, better raise taxes and fees - and your average Common Core voter will fall for it hook line and sinker!
Stupid voters and communist local media. Get out while you can.
Folks that voluntarily left their former dwellings=$$$. Folks who were burned out of their homes=meh.
Well.... I guess the working man in New Jersey needs to but a little ice on that.. Getting mugged really sucks..
Frequent comments here are:” You get what you vote for” “and get out when you can”. My comeback as a 34 year NJ resident and consistent voter on the right side of things, the problem is that this infection of progressive politics moves too. We will see it cropping up in the islands of sanity, especially at the local levels, which is after all where the House elections are decided. Better to stay and work against it.
I’m too old to move and can afford to live here, so I’ll stay... and try to change what I can.
Spending US taxpayer money to help fraudulently documented foreigners break our laws.
Part of the suicide pact.
You bring up a valid point.
The number of people south of the Mason-Dixon line that I’ve spoken with complain that the ‘Yankees’ come here to escape the rot in the NE, but then complain it’s not like NY or NJ or MASS.
They vote accordingly, as you indicated.
Don’t know if you’re familiar with Gerald Celente, but he is a well known patriot who has the means to escape not only New York State but the USA as well, but has chosen to drop anchor permanently in upstate NY because he refuses to get pushed out of the only life he’s known and loved by a bunch of idiot liberals.
Like the old Tareyton cigarette commercials: He’d rather fight than switch.
You are in good company JeanLM.
After releasing one who killed multiple people in Missouri? Wow talk about not caring about optics.
NJ doesn’t have so many who go up there and commit crimes. They don’t care about the innocent US citizen victims. How about we bus all the caravans up to NJ.
The next big snow storm and NJ will be whining for a federal bail out because they’re broke. Guarantee it’ll happen.
This is disgraceful. People are living in tents in Paradise CA and these illegals are getting tax dollars for legal help? What the hell is happening to this country?
Would there not be a case for a NJ taxpayer to sue for reduction in their taxes due to illegal use of the money?
“New Jersey...you get the government you deserve!”
Not all of us deserve it. My vote doesn’t count.
better raise taxes and fees
The governor tried but the (get this) Democrat leader of the State House told him to go to hell. We’ll see what happens. I won’t hold my breath for no increase.
