New Jersey assemblywoman Vicky Flynn told "Fox and Friends" on Wednesday that "soft-on-crime policies" in the blue state were to blame after a series of brawls and stabbings occurred over Memorial Day weekend at a popular Jersey shore boardwalk, leading to dozens of arrests."Over the last seven years, there have been numerous policies adopted and lack of enforcement that prevent law enforcement from taking action to prevent what's going on and what you're seeing at the shore," said Flynn, a Republican who represents Monmouth County, along the Jersey shore."We have laws that prevented law enforcement from engaging with minors who might be caught drinking alcohol or smoking pot, just because of left-leaning type policies to allow these type of behaviors."POLICE SEEK 2 IN ASSAULT ON POPULAR EAST COAST BOARDWALK WEEKS AFTER MEMORIAL DAY CHAOSAt least 73 people 52 adults and 21 minors were arrested in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, during the mayhem that began early Friday and ended around 6 a.m. on Monday, according to local reports. A string of brawls and stabbings erupted on the boardwalk, forcing authorities to temporarily shut down the tourist site."We've taken a lot of action to reverse those policies, but it was that, plus even the COVID shutdowns.

Flynn explained that both Houses of the New Jersey state legislature unanimously passed a bill that would have allowed law enforcement to crack down on the people instigating the brawls, which was blocked by Gov. Phil Murphy, D-N.J."These people are coming to these areas, putting masks on, so that they can't get caught, so they're coming to these events, they're coming to the boardwalk, causing chaos, but covering their faces so they can't be caught later on through an investigation," Flynn said.Murphy conditionally vetoed the bill, citing concerns that it would infringe on First Amendment rights, according to NJ.com.NJ POLICE EYE ABSENT PARENTS AFTER YOUNG MOBS UPEND FAMILY-FRIENDLY VACATION HOT SPOTSFlynn called for the legislature to override the governor's veto, but said the "Trenton Democrats decided to motion my attempt to override the veto."Three young adults were stabbed in separate incidents, Seaside Heights Detective Steve Korman told local media, adding that the third stabbing prompted officials to temporarily shut down the boardwalk just after midnight on Monday.SWAT teams were on standby ahead of the weekend after a similar incident occurred during last years long holiday weekend involving large groups of unruly juveniles, according to FOX 29 Philadelphia.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREJones asked Flynn if there was room for a common-sense Republican candidate in the blue state."Absolutely, I do think Republicans, were going to have a great year this year because of incidents like this.

A federal judge denied a request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to reconsider his order calling for the Trump administration "to take all immediate steps" to return a Guatemalan deportee to the U.S.The decision by U.S. District Court Judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts comes after he issued a ruling last week saying that the removal of the individual identified only as O.C.G. "lacked due process.""In general, this case presents no special facts or legal circumstances, only the banal horror of a man being wrongfully loaded onto a bus and sent back to a country where he was allegedly just raped and kidnapped," Murphy wrote Friday."Defendants are hereby ORDERED to take all immediate steps, including coordinating with Plaintiffs counsel, to facilitate the return of O.C.G. to the United States," he added.US JUDGE ACCUSES TRUMP ADMIN OF MANUFACTURING CHAOS IN SOUTH SUDAN DEPORTATIONS, ESCALATING FEUDIn the filing, Murphy described O.C.G. as a native and citizen of Guatemala who first entered the U.S. "without proper authorization" in March 2024. "O.C.G. alleges that he presented himself for asylum at the border and was denied an interview. In any event, he was deported shortly thereafter to Guatemala. In April 2024, O.C.G. decided to try again and crossed Mexico on his way to the United States.There, he was raped and held hostage until a family member paid ransom," the filing said.READ THE JUDGE'S ORDER APP USERS, CLICK HERE:"In May 2024, O.C.G. again arrived at the United States and was arrested by Border Patrol. This time, however, he was referred to an asylum officer after expressing fear of return to Guatemala. That officer determined that O.C.G. had a credible fear of persecution or torture and initiated withholding-only proceedings,where an immigration judge agreed and determined that it was more likely than not that O.C.G. would be persecuted or tortured if sent back to Guatemala. Accordingly, O.C.G. was granted withholding of removal from Guatemala," it continued."Two days after being granted withholding of removal, and with no advanced warning, O.C.G. was put on a bus and sent to Mexico.

O.C.G. chose Guatemala.He remains there today," Murphy said in the filing."Just yesterday, O.C.G. submitted a declaration informing the Court of his current status.He reports living in constant fear of his attackers, being unable to leave the place where he is staying, not being able to rely on the police to protect him,and not being able to see his mother for fear of exposing her to violence, among other hardships," Murphy also wrote.DHS said in response to the decision that "Americas asylum system was never intended to be used as a de facto amnesty program or a catch-all, get-out-of-deportation-free card. "The person in question was an illegally present alien who was granted withholding of removal to Guatemala. He was instead removed to Mexico, a safe third option for him, pending his asylum claim. Yet, this federal activist judge is ordering us to bring him back, so he can have an opportunity to prove why he should be granted asylum to a country that he has had no past connection to," the department wrote on X in response to a news article about Murphys decision."The Trump administration is committed to returning our asylum system to its original intent," it declared.MARYLAND REP. IVEY BACK FROM EL SALVADOR AFTER FAILING TO MEET KILMAR ABREGO GARCIAThe order from Murphy to return O.C.G. came in response to a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of him and three other plaintiffs, identified as immigrants from Cuba, Ecuador and Honduras who are residents of Massachusetts and Texas."Plaintiffs and proposed class members are noncitizens with final removal orders resulting from proceedings in which they have been notified that they could be deported to a designated country of removal (usually their country of origin) and, in some cases, an alternative country of removal (usually a country of which they are a citizen or in which they hold status) and had an opportunity to contest removal to the designated country based on a claim of fear," read a complaint filed in March."They bring this class action to challenge the policy or practice of the Department of Homeland Security of deporting, or seeking to deport, them to a third country -- a country never designated for removal -- without first providing them with notice or opportunity to contest removal on the basis that they have a fear of persecution, torture, and even death if deported to that third country," the complaint added."DHS policy or practice of failing to afford these basic, minimal protections violates the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the treaty obligations of the United States," it also said.Attorneys representing the four plaintiffs did not immediately respond Wednesday to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
