Councilwoman Calls Out County Leaders

Councilwoman Liz Walsh is sounding the alarm on Howard County leaders, demanding they fight tooth and nail against a controversial ICE facility proposal in Elkridge. Genesis GSA, the company behind the project, sued the county after permits were revoked — claiming the county overstepped by banning private detention centers. In a recent court hearing, the county’s lawyer made a surprising move, suggesting the ban doesn’t apply because a government entity will run the facility — a move Walsh calls a “shocking concession.” She insists the county’s legal stance remains valid and can’t be compromised, especially with public input still pending and a federal judge poised to rule. Genesis insists it won’t operate the facility, calling it a temporary replacement for an ICE office — but Walsh and the county are determined to block the project before it’s even built.
