Gov. Phil Murphy signed a series of bills aiming to improve immigrants’ rights amid controversy surrounding migrants traveling through N.J. The laws include extended protections for domestic workers, a requirement for state agencies to translate documents into several languages other than English, and more detailed demographic data collection for Asian residents. Activist groups that had long advocated for these bills were present, including Wind of the Spirit, N.J. Alliance for Immigrant Justice, New Labor, National Domestic Workers Alliance, and AAPI Montclair.
