Sherill said her administration will soon be launching a portal so New Jersey residents "can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people" about local immigration operations.
A spokesperson for the governor, Sean Higgins, said Sherill's administration will release further details in the coming days.
"Keeping New Jerseyans safe is Governor Sherrill’s top priority and, in the coming days, she and Acting Attorney General Davenport will announce additional actions to protect New Jerseyans from federal overreach," Higgins said in a statement.
Sherrill also said that her administration intends to provide information to educate New Jerseyans on their rights in the state.

Sherrill also compared ICE to secret police forces she observed in other countries when she served in the Navy.
"We saw people in the street with masks and no insignia. So not accountable at all, hiding from the population – and we saw again and again an undermining of what law enforcement should do to keep people safe," she said on Wednesday.
Democrats in Congress and in various state legislatures have sought for months to adopt measures that would ban immigration agents from wearing masks to hide their identities, arguing that such legislation is needed to ensure transparency.
