F—ICE法案（首字母在实际使用中完整拼写）正式全称为”打击非法行为并赋权个人与社区法案“（Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered Act），该法案允许因移民执法涉及违反美国宪法而提起民事指控。该法案的提出源于一名联邦探员与一名民主社会主义市议员的冲突。
本月，联邦当局据报道在泽西市哈德逊-卑尔根轻轨上拘留了近12人，导致地方与州政府官员和国土安全部（DHS）之间的紧张局势飙升。前往现场的民主党社会主义市议员杰克·埃夫罗斯（Jake Ephros）遭到一名联邦探员的拒绝，对方称”我不需要搜查令，兄弟。”
来自相邻霍博肯市的民主党众议员拉维·巴拉（Assembs. Ravi Bhalla）和凯蒂·布伦南（Katie Brennan）针对这一事件起草了F—ICE法案。据《哈德逊县观察报》报道，巴拉还宣布了其他几项旨在限制新泽西州与联邦政府合作的法案。

巴拉称，当他担任相邻霍博肯市市长时，首要举措就是颁布庇护城市条例。这座城市以弗兰克·辛纳屈（Frank Sinatra）的故乡而闻名，与曼哈顿中城隔哈德逊河相望。
他在一份声明中表示：”ICE在我们的社区没有立足之地。现在，局势更加严峻，我们每个人都有责任利用手中的权力保护居民安全。”
布伦南在接受《人物》杂志采访时提及埃夫罗斯与ICE的冲突，补充道她无法”坐视他们侵犯民众宪法权利”。
“这些法案加强了地方保护措施，确保这些’混乱制造者’承担责任。我们必须动用州政府的全部力量保护新泽西民众。”
布伦南告诉《新泽西先驱报》，尽管批评者称其行为”有失体统”、”不够淑女”，但提出该缩写的其实是同为霍博肯市民主党人的州参议员拉吉·穆克吉（Raj Mukherji）。

穆克吉称，ICE在全国范围内播下了”混乱的种子”。
并非所有议员都支持该法案，包括来自该州保守派农村西北部的一些议员。
“现在他们连首字母缩写都搞了，”来自切斯特的共和党众议员迈克尔·因加纳莫特（Assemb. Michael Inganamort）表示。
“这种激进主义是25年来不受约束的民主党多数派的必然结果。这正是我们共和党少数派反对的，也是选举重要的原因。”因加纳莫特在X平台上的声明中说道。
来自萨塞克斯县的共和党众议员道恩·范塔西亚（Assemb. Dawn Fantasia）称该法案标题”狂野”，但前提”更狂野”。
“我还没看到文本，但如果它的含义如字面所指，那就是非法入境后由州政府创造起诉执法的途径，”她表示。
“如果我是个赌徒，我猜新泽西纳税人会为这场官司买单。”
“凯蒂和拉维需要用肥皂好好洗洗嘴。”保守派评论员、”拯救新泽西”组织的马特·鲁尼（Matt Rooney）打趣道。
来自Point Pleasant Beach的共和党众议员保罗·卡尼特拉（Assemb. Paul Kanitra）建议该州应像处理提交低俗车牌申请的人一样处理F—ICE法案。
“就像州车管所必须拒绝甚至收回被认定为粗俗的车牌一样，该法案也应面临同样的命运，”卡尼特拉表示。
新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔未能立即回应置评请求。

谢里尔在特伦顿上任后的首个举措之一，是签署第12号行政命令，限制ICE在州属财产上的活动，并为居民创建举报本地区移民执法的渠道。
她当时在声明中表示：”我认真对待保护新泽西居民安全的责任，作为海军退伍军人和前联邦检察官，我维护宪法的承诺永远不会动摇。该行政命令将禁止ICE使用州属财产开展行动。”

Democratic lawmakers in one major blue state are facing backlash over their latest attempt to blunt federal immigration enforcement through a new bill crafted around a vulgar acronym.
The F—ICE Act, with the acronym spelled out in practice, is officially the “Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered Act” and would permit civil action for violations of the U.S. Constitution related to immigration enforcement. The measure was introduced after a clash between a federal agent and a democratic socialist councilman.
Tensions between local and state officials and DHS had soared this month after federal authorities reportedly detained nearly a dozen people on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail in Jersey City. Jake Ephros, a Democratic Socialist councilman who went to the scene, was rebuffed by a federal agent who told him, “I don’t need a warrant, bro.”
Assembs. Ravi Bhalla and Katie Brennan, two Democrats from neighboring Hoboken, crafted the F—ICE Act in response to the incident. Bhalla also announced several other bills seeking to restrict New Jersey’s cooperation with the federal government, according to the Hudson County View.

Bhalla said that when he was mayor of neighboring Hoboken, his first move was to enact a sanctuary city ordinance. The city is famously home to Frank Sinatra and sits across the Hudson River from Midtown Manhattan.
“ICE has no place in our communities,” he said in a statement. “Now, the stakes are even higher, and it is incumbent on all of us to use the power we have to keep our residents safe.”
Brennan cited Ephros’ run-in with ICE in comments to People, adding that she cannot “sit back and do nothing while they violate people’s constitutional rights.”
“These bills strengthen local protections and make sure these agents of chaos face accountability. We have to use the full force of our state government to protect the people of New Jersey.”
Brennan told NJ Advance Media that while critics have voiced concern about her acting “unbecoming” and “unladylike,” she said it was fellow Hoboken Democrat state Sen. Raj Mukherji who came up with the acronym.

Mukherji has said ICE has sown “seeds of chaos” nationwide.
Not all lawmakers were on board, including some from the state’s more conservative, rural northwest.
“So, they’re doing acronyms now,” said Assemb. Michael Inganamort, R-Chester.
“This sort of radicalism is the inevitable result of an unchecked, 25-year Democratic Majority. It’s what our Republican Minority stands against and why elections matter,” Inganamort said in a statement on X.
Assemb. Dawn Fantasia, R-Sussex, said the bill’s title is “wild” but the premise is “wilder.”
“[I] don’t have the text yet, but if it means what it sounds like, that’s illegal entry followed by a state-created pathway to sue over enforcement,” she said.
“If I was a bettin’ woman, I’d guess NJ taxpayers will be footing the legal bill.”
“Katie and Ravi need their mouths washed out with soap,” quipped conservative commentator Matt Rooney of “Save Jersey.”
Assemb. Paul Kanitra, R-Point Pleasant Beach, suggested the state should deal with the F—ICE Act the same way it deals with people who submit applications for off-color tags.
“Much like the state DMV has to turn down and in some cases even repossess license plates that are deemed vulgar, this should suffer the same fate,” Kanitra said.
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill could not immediately be reached for comment.

In one of her first acts in Trenton, Sherrill signed Executive Order 12, which restricts ICE activities on state property and creates a portal for residents to report immigration enforcement in their areas.
“I take seriously my responsibility to keep New Jersey residents safe and, as a Navy veteran and former federal prosecutor, my commitment to upholding the Constitution will never waver. This executive order will prohibit ICE from using state property to launch operations,” Sherrill said in a statement at the time.
