New 'Happy Gilmore 2' trailer drops at Netflix Tudum fan fest with some familiar NJ places
A new movie trailer shows Adam Sandler's hockey-stick-swinging golfer Happy Gilmore returning in summer 2025, with New Jersey as his backdrop. Netflix revealed the new trailer for the highly anticipated comedy "Happy Gilmore 2" during its Tudum fan event on May 31, teasing a sequel packed with celebrity cameos and callbacks to the 1996 original. Shot across locations in towns including Hoboken, Clifton and Verona, the new movie brings Gilmore out of retirement with a new motivation: ballet school tuition for his daughter. The price tag? $300,000. Gilmore's plan? Take another shot at the pro circuit. The movie set for a July 25 release on Netflix reunites familiar faces from the first installment, including Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit, Kevin Nealon as Gary Potter and Ben Stiller as the menacing nursing home orderly Hal. The cast also includes Sandler's real-life daughters Sadie and Sunny, wife Jackie, and Bad Bunny in the role of Gilmore's caddie. In the trailer's opening, Sandler's Gilmore wipes out on the tee box while being watched by Eric André, Margaret Qualley and Martin Herlihy. The trailer also includes appearances by Post Malone, Travis Kelce, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Stephen A. Smith, Becky Lynch, Ken Jennings and others. Sandler hinted at some of the cameos months ago, saying on the "Dan Patrick Show" in December that he filmed with Eminem for a day. 'He said a million things we can use and we are glad we had him on tape,' Sandler said at the time. Sandler co-wrote the script with longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy and brought in Kyle Newacheck to direct. Martin Herlihy, whose father co-wrote the original "Happy Gilmore," joined the cast alongside some fellow "Saturday Night Live" performers and golfers such as Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Nelly Korda, Jack Nicklaus, John Daly, Paige Spiranac and New Jersey native Scottie Scheffler. Golf courses like Fiddler's Elbow in Bedminster served as key locations. The movie also had temporary sets in Verona, Washington Township and The Oranges, among other New Jersey locations.

Trump administration sues four New Jersey cities over immigration cases
May 23 (Reuters) - The Trump administration announced on Friday that it had filed a lawsuit against four New Jersey cities, accusing them of being so-called sanctuary jurisdictions and obstructing federal immigration agents, according to court documents. The suit, filed in federal court in New Jersey on Thursday, said Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City and Paterson along with the municipalities' city councils and mayors are breaking federal immigration law. The local policies in the cities deny federal immigration agents access to undocumented immigrants in local custody, restrict local officers from handing over those in custody to federal agents and bar otherwise willing local officers from providing information to federal immigration authorities, the suit said. "The express purpose and clear effect of these policies is to thwart federal immigration enforcement," the suit said, asking the judge in the case to bar the cities from enforcing these policies. One of the defendants in the lawsuit, Hoboken Mayor Ravinder Bhalla, said in a statement his city will not "be commandeered" by federal agents to enforce federal immigration orders, especially those that violate the constitutional rights of its residents and non-resident visitors. "Make no mistake about it - Hoboken will never aid Donald Trump's inhumane treatment of law-abiding immigrants & residents," he wrote. "We will not back down." Another defendant in the lawsuit, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, was taken into custody on May 9 in a scuffle at the gate of a privately run federal immigration detention center during a visit by three members of New Jersey's congressional delegation. Days later, a misdemeanor charge of trespassing against the Democrat gubernatorial candidate was dropped. In April, a federal judge blocked Donald Trump's administration from withholding federal funding from more than a dozen jurisdictions that have declined to cooperate with the Republican president's hardline immigration crackdown.

Trump administration sues four New Jersey cities over sanctuary policies
The Trump administration is suing four New Jersey cities, accusing local officials of obstructing federal law and infringing on efforts to combat illegal immigration through their sanctuary city policies. The lawsuit by the Justice Department alleged the cities of Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City and Paterson unlawfully obstructed federal authorities trying to fight illegal immigration. Mayors Ras Baraka of Newark, Ravi Bhalla of Hoboken, Steven Fulop of Jersey City and Andre Sayegh of Paterson are named as defendants, along with the four city councils. "By intent and design, the Challenged Policies are a frontal assault on the federal immigration laws and the federal authorities that administer them," the complaint states. Baraka was recently arrested and charged with trespassing outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in his city. That case was dropped, but U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was later charged with assault during the protest at Delaney Hall. "The lawsuit against Newark is absurd," Barake said in a statement. "We are not standing in the way of public safety. We are upholding the Constitution, providing oversight, and following the laws and guidelines of the State of New Jersey." He said nothing in the city's policies prevents law enforcement from doing their jobs. "What we refuse to do is turn our city into an arm of federal immigration enforcement, which the courts have already ruled is not our role," he added. Acting Assistant Attorney General Yaakov Roth wrote that local policies are designed to "thwart federal immigration enforcement". "[E]ven where local law enforcement wants to help the United States deal with the nation's immigration crisis, the Challenged Policies impede them from doing so," he wrote. "This not only puts the safety of officers at risk, but also endangers the broader communities they are sworn to protect." The lawsuit comes after federal charges were filed against Baraka, a gubernatorial candidate, for his role during a May 9 clash involving Democratic politicians at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Newark. "Recent events have proven that these New Jersey officials care more about political showmanship than the safety of their communities," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "As I have made clear, this Justice Department does not tolerate local officials in sanctuary cities obstructing immigration enforcement: there is more litigation to come." "We will continue to do what we have always done, protect the rights of all our residents, stand on constitutional ground, and reject fear-based politics that divide communities rather than strengthen them," Baraka said. "Hoboken is a community that prides itself on its vibrancy, its cultural diversity, and its inclusivity, and we will continue to stand together as a community for what is fair and just," Bhalla said in a separate statement. "The City of Hoboken will vigorously work to defend our rights, have our day in court, and defeat the Trump Administration's lawlessness. To be clear: we will not back down." "Jersey City gets sued for being a sanctuary city — I guess MAGA ran out of conspiracy theories for the week," Fulop wrote on X in response to the lawsuit. "Here is the truth: Jersey City's policies protect families, reflect our values and have led to record low crime rates. As governor, I won't be bullied. We'll fight this — and win." Fox News Digital has reached out to Sayegh's office. The Trump administration has targeted sanctuary jurisdictions as it continues to catch and deport criminal illegal immigrants. It has filed lawsuits against cities in New York, Colorado and Illinois over attempts to impede immigration enforcement.

Justice Department sues 4 New Jersey cities over immigration policies
The Trump administration is suing four New Jersey cities for alleged sanctuary city violations. The Justice Department's civil lawsuit alleges the governments of Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City and Paterson unlawfully obstructed federal immigration agents, according to sources. New Jersey mayors named in DOJ lawsuit Mayors Ras Baraka, Ravi Bhalla, Steven Fulop and Andre Sayegh were also named as defendants in the DOJ's suit, along with the four city councils. Baraka, the mayor of Newark, was recently arrested and charged with trespassing outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in his city. His case was dropped, but U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was later federally charged with assault during the protest at Delaney Hall. She denied wrongdoing and called the charges "purely political." Bhalla, Hoboken's mayor, issued the statement, "My first official act in 2018 as Hoboken's new Mayor was to declare by Executive Order and a General Order of the Hoboken Police Department that Hoboken is a 'Fair and Welcoming City' ... this means that our city's tax dollars, police, and other city personnel will not be commandeered by the federal government to enforce federal immigration orders - especially those that violate the constitutional rights of our residents and non-resident visitors. It also means that in Hoboken, the law shall be applied equally regardless of immigration status. This is the American way." "The City of Hoboken will vigorously work to defend our rights, have our day in court, and defeat the Trump Administration's lawlessness. To be clear: we will not back down," his statement continued. CBS News New York has reached out to DOJ and all of the mayors' offices for comment.
