Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba has a big hurdle to climb in her alleged pursuit of an investigation into our governor and attorney general: the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Habba said she’s pursuing a probe of Gov.

Alina Habba appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show Thursday to say she’s opening an investigation into Gov. Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkin over the Immigrant Trust Directive, a state order that bars state and local police officers from becoming de facto immigration agents.

RT @the_transit_guy: Newark airport actually should be shut down at this point

I was in Newark earlier and asked Mayor Baraka how he feels about the statements of support he received from his Democratic rivals in the governor’s race following his arrest. He said with a smile, “I'm glad that they are, you know, making the most of this” https://t.co/cMpHKuQdNW
