Alina Habba, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey, is opening an investigation into the state’s governor and attorney general for how they are handing the immigration issue.

Habba talked about her investigation appeared on “Hannity” on Fox News Thursday. 

She singled out Gov. Phil Murphy and Attorney General Matt Platkinover for opposing President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement tactics, per Mediaite.

The state’s law enforcement has have also been instructed to not cooperate with federal officials in the enforcement of civil immigration actions unless they have been ordered to do so by a court.

“I will 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 was also instructed the state police not to assist any of our federal… agencies under that are under my direction…”

Watch:

“That will no longer stand,” Habba said. “[U.S. Attorney General] Pam Bondi has made it clear and so has our president that we are to take all criminals, violent criminals and criminals [sic] 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 hard.”

Hannity cited the Supremacy Clause and said this provision would need state and local police to act at the direction of the federal government.

“That’s correct,” Habba said, adding New Jersey police are under her direction. “And let me tell you, to my state officers in New Jersey – some of whom I met with today – I appreciate and respect what you can and cannot do. They don’t have Title VIII authority. I understand that. But what they have been instructed to do by the AG and the governor as is on their website, is to not even make the phone call to I.C.E. when they run the record and see there is a valid warrant and administrative warrant ordering deportation. That is putting the people in my state in jeopardy.”

“And if you did commit a crime, if you ordered obstruction, if you are ordering concealment and harboring, you will be charged,” she added.
