According to a article in today's Daily Record Morristown New Jersey's Mayor Donald Cresitello is at it again.  

Cresitello wants to deputize local police officers to enforce federal immigration laws under a program known as 287G. The plan would give approximately 10 local police officers the same enforcement powers as agents of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"I don't think it's dead yet," Cresitello said to the Daily Record. "Maybe I can embarrass the president, the attorney general and the freeholders."

Many people who live in one of the Midtown Direct towns already may know this, but that train line really helps property values.  It looks like in the future the Midtown Direct train line will enhance property values even more than it does today.
