New Jersey's Democrat governor challenged federal authorities to come get an illegal immigrant whom he appeared to say he was harboring inside his garage.Gov. Phil Murphy made the comments while speaking with a progressive activist group at Montclair State University in Montclair on Saturday. 'This should be disqualifying as a governor.'"There is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to, and we said, 'You know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage,'" said Murphy at the event. "And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her," he added. Murphy has previously forbidden state and local law enforcement to cooperate with deportation and immigration enforcement in the state. The Trump administration has warned that it would seek legal action against state officials who got in the way of enforcing immigration law. Video of the comments was circulated on social media, where Murphy was excoriated by critics. "He's a public official who is daring the federal government. This should be disqualifying as a governor," responded author Adam Coleman. "Phil Murphy realizing his live-in maid being illegal is politically useful," joked Rob Schmitt of Newsmax. "Phil Murphy just implicated himself in a CRIME! Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. It’s time for @icegov to pay him a visit," said former Mayor Mario Kranjac. Murphy was vague about the immigration status of the person, who, if she exists, could be an illegal alien or a person with temporary immigration status. Harboring an illegal alien is a crime and may be punishable by 10 years in prison. In 2019 Murphy signed legislation allowing illegal immigrants to obtain a driver's license in New Jersey. “This new law will allow residents the opportunity to obtain driver’s licenses regardless of immigration status and keep our roads safe," Murphy posted on social media, quoting a law enforcement officer.

We know WWDC is just around the corner (well, another four months, but who's counting?) because the Swift Student Challenge is now live. As previously announced by the Cupertino company, Apple opened submissions for the 2025 Swift Student Challenge, which will award the most brilliant ideas with an all-inclusive pass to WWDC 2025. On its website, Apple says students can submit their app until February 23, 2025. "Apple is proud to support and uplift the next generation of developers, creators, and entrepreneurs with the Swift Student Challenge. The Challenge has given thousands of student developers the opportunity to showcase their creativity and coding capabilities through app playgrounds and learn real-world skills that they can take into their careers and beyond." Apple highlights the importance of previous Swift Student Challenge participants, who used their creativity to develop apps that solved real-world problems. The company says it encourages students to "brainstorm and develop thoughtful ideas for apps that address important issues in their community and beyond. Dream, draft, and organize ideas for your app playground, download what you'll need to make your vision a reality, and start building." In total, Apple will select 350 Swift Student Challenge winners whose submissions demonstrate "excellence in innovation, creativity, social impact, or inclusivity." From this group, the company will name 50 distinguished winners whose work is "truly exceptional" and invite them to WWDC 2025 in Cupertino for "three incredible days." Apple says all winners get one year of membership in the Apple Developer Program, a special gift from the company, and more. Besides a minimum age and being registered as an Apple developer or a member of the Developer Program, students need to fulfill one of the following requirements: Be enrolled in, or have graduated within the last 90 days from, an accredited academic institution or official homeschool equivalent or an Apple Developer Academy; Be enrolled in a STEM organization’s educational curriculum; or Have graduated from high school or equivalent within the past 6 months and be awaiting acceptance or have received acceptance to an accredited academic institution.
