Mayor's Wife Hit in ICE Chase | US News

A high-speed chase in New Jersey ended with a crash that injured the mayor’s wife — sparking heated debate over state policies limiting local police cooperation with ICE. The driver, fleeing ICE officers, ran a red light and collided with Penelope Cohen’s car during an ICE operation in North Brunswick. Both drivers were hospitalized, but the mayor’s injuries were non-life-threatening. The suspect is now in custody facing immigration charges. Critics argue restrictive state laws may be fueling dangerous escapes, while others say such policies might actually embolden lawbreakers. North Brunswick police clarified they weren’t involved in the initial stop — only responding to the crash. The incident reignites questions about how immigration enforcement impacts public safety and community trust. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
