Maryland Sheriffs Sue Over Immigration Law

Maryland sheriffs are suing the state over a new immigration law that bans holding people for ICE without a warrant—unless they’re facing felonies or are registered sex offenders. Governor Wes Moore endorsed the bill, saying he won’t let ICE deputize local officers, but admits some details need work. The law, set to take effect in June, follows another measure ending 287(g) partnerships by July—currently active in nine counties. Critics warn ending these deals could let violent offenders slip through, while supporters say the law closes loopholes and protects local officers from federal overreach. The legal showdown highlights a growing rift between state and local law enforcement over immigration enforcement boundaries. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
