From WLT Report:
In Maryland, Democrat Gov. Wes Moore has enacted a law to ban local law enforcement partnerships with ICE. But, it doesn’t seem to be going how he expected. The new law has nine sheriffs in the state absolutely furious! They say that they will defy the ban and continue cooperating with immigration authorities. Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis called the ban “the biggest betrayal to law enforcement and public safety” that he has ever seen....
Specifically, the new law banned 287(g) partnerships with ICE.
But, it doesn’t prevent local authorities from notifying ICE when an illegal alien is arrested.
Fox Baltimore has more details:
