ICYMI: Nellie Pou enables sanctuary cities

May 30, 2025

The Trump administration is suing multiple New Jersey cities – including Paterson in NJ-09 – over their sanctuary policies that make it more difficult for law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

For years, ICE has warned that sanctuary jurisdictions create a “public safety threat.”

Yet, out of touch Democrat Nellie Pou continues to put criminal illegal immigrants over hardworking New Jerseyans.

Pou’s failure to support border security has put New Jerseyans at risk and underscores how out of touch touch Pou remains with voters who want safe communities, not radical policies. 

“It’s clear that out of touch Democrat Nellie Pou is for illegal immigrants, not for New Jerseyans. Her far-left, open border agenda is making New Jersey communities more dangerous, and voters will reject her reckless policies next year.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
