New Jersey's new plan to create a state website where people can upload videos of ICE activity in the state is already drawing mixed reaction.

Some immigrant advocates say the proposal from Governor Mikie Sherrill may miss the moment, especially as tensions around immigration enforcement continue to rise.

The governor says the portal is meant to increase transparency and document federal enforcement actions.

However, critics worry a government-run system may not move fast enough to warn communities when agents are operating in their neighborhoods and question whether it would actually protect vulnerable residents.

Republican state leaders are also criticizing the plan, saying it undermines law enforcement.

Sherrill's stance on immigrant protection is also putting her at odds with some advocates.

A spokesperson for the governor says she supports enshrining the state's current policy into law that limits when local police can cooperate with federal immigration agents.

But she does not appear to back a bill Governor Murphy rejected on his way out of office that would have limited cooperation even further.

Both have said they had concerns that the legislation could invite legal challenges and attacks by the federal government.

Lawmakers plan to reintroduce the bill soon.
