We continue to conduct interdisciplinary research to further understand the development of federal and state laws, and how they impact non-citizens and citizens alike. Our “Sanctuary Project” received a grant to conduct research on the state and local implementation of the New Jersey Immigrant Trust Directive (ITD). The "Immigrant Trust Directive Implementation Project" uses the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) to obtain information from state and local government agencies on their implementation of the ITD.
