On one hand, I sincerely do not want our level of political discourse to follow this example. On the other, if anyone deserves it, it’s ICE.

Not a joke?
Of note is that introducing a bill (for those unfamiliar with American legislative politics) means remarkably little. The two sponsors are brand-new to New Jersey's General Assembly (80 total members), and unless this really advances anywhere, it's about a rung up from putting out a scathing press release.
Respect the backronym and overall bill idea, though.
While I appreciate the sentiment, I would very much like it if government became less unserious. Jesus fuck.
A backronym in a state bill is probably the least of my concerns about the country right now.
This kind of bill naming has been around for decades. 1989 had the STOP SMUT Act and there have been just so many others. I'm not going to complain about old inconsequential unserious when the new unserious is so much more damaging.
Pretty mild for New Jersey.
Unconstitutional conduct is already suable over, though..? This bill is insanely toothless and the people of NJ deserve better.

Not when it involves law enforcement.
Does the law help pierce Qualified Immunity where law enforcement can just play dumb and say they didn't know any better?
These people never progressed past middle school.
