Two Democrat state senators are pushing legislation that would prohibit law enforcement officers, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, from wearing masks or face coverings and hiding their identities during a detention or arrest.

He said there have been two cases this year of people pretending to be ICE agents while committing a crime. Senators Amanda Capelletti and Nikil Saval authored the proposal, which they call "No Secret Police".

New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Citattarelli says he can pull off an upset and beat Democrat candidate Mikie Sherrell in November. He said voters in the Garden State are hungry for change. "When it comes to New Jersey, we have always been a purple state when it comes to gubernatorial elections. But people have had it with these far-left radical extreme policies that Democrats have taken. I just don't understand. They're out of touch and totally arrogant with what's going on in the minds and hearts and souls of everyday New Jerseyans," Citattarelli says. A recent Fairleigh Dickinson University poll gives Sherrell an eight point lead over Citattarelli. The last Republican governor in New Jersey was Chris Christie.
