Allamuchy, Montague schools among 12 named in ACLU lawsuits
Two local school districts, Allamuchy and Montague, are among 12 statewide targeted in an ACLU legal action accusing them of illegally denying enrollment to illegal immigrant children by requiring what amounts to proof of legal residency. The lawsuits, filed on Thursday, come amid a searing national debate about states that have sanctuary policies for those residing in the country illegally and as some Trenton politicians, including Gov. Phil Murphy, are pushing for New Jersey to join their ranks by allowing driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.
