Alina Habba has opened a criminal investigation into New Jersey Governor Chris Murphy.
Habba, who worked as Trump’s personal lawyer before recently being appointed U.S. Attorney for the state of New Jersey, announced during an appearance on Hannity on Thursday evening that Murphy was actively obstructing efforts by law enforcement to deport illegal aliens.
Her warning came after Murphy and New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin instructed state troopers to ignore thousands of arrest warrants listed on a federal database.
She explained:
We know that the governor has on his website currently do’s and don’ts for his local state of law enforcement.
Those do’s and don’ts instruct them not to cooperate with illegal immigrants who have administrative warrants that have been issued by the court after due process saying that they are no longer welcome here.
They have gone through the court system. They are to be deported. It is instructing them to go against our federal rules, our executive orders.
I am unfortunately going to announce on your show tonight, Sean, and I want it to be a warning for everybody, that I have instructed my office today to open an investigation into Governor Murphy, to open an investigation into Attorney General Platkin, who has also instructed the state police not to assist any of our federal, and they list our federal agencies that are under my direction, the FBI, the DEA, all these individuals that are trying to clean up our streets in New Jersey not to cooperate.
That will no longer stand. Pam Bondi has made it clear and so has our president that we are to take all criminal, violent criminals and criminals out of this country and to completely enforce federal law, and anybody who does get in that way, in the way of what we are doing, which is not political, it is simply against crime, will be charged in the state of New Jersey for obstruction, for concealment, and I will come after them hard.
Those investigations will start immediately.

New Jersey is one of many Democratic-controlled states that is actively resisting the Trump administration’s efforts to deport the tens of millions of illegal aliens currently residing across the United States.
Just today, President Trump threatened to withhold federal funds from so-called “sanctuary cities” that are protecting illegal immigrants from their lawful deportation.
“No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.
“Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!”
