Now, some Maryland lawmakers are responding to Trump’s order, with two new bills aimed at limiting how much state and local resources can be used during the enforcement of immigration laws.
“You can’t deputize law enforcement officials to enforce immigration law like through stopping, arresting or searching or detaining an individual simply to find out their immigration or citizenship status,” said Del. Maricé Morales, D-Montgomery County, who introduced a house version of the “Trust Act” bill.
Morales said her bill and a twin bill in the state Senate — as law — would prevent police officers from questioning victims and those arrested about their citizenship or place of birth. The legislation also would bar officers from assisting in immigration enforcement operations in the communities they serve.

Maryland...California wannabe
And yet MD wants the new FBI headquarters? Good luck with that. Shows how asisinine our legislators are!
ICE already proving states are not going to usurp federal laws. MD is just embarrassing themselves.
As long as Hogan vetoes it...
If they override, we'll all know what's going on...for them, can't wait for the next election!
Protecting law breakers, letting B-more slaughter each other...all while stripping law abiding citizens of their 2A constitutional rights
We must vote out these obstructionist democrats that are destroying MD
Glad I moved out of that State!
If the state becomes a "sanctuary", shut down the jails since we're not going to follow laws.
this is what the state of maryland and mr. hogan get for not supporting PRESIDENT TRUMP
So Maryland wants to cut state funds for enforcement of Federal laws, huh. Then the feds should also cut federal funds to Maryland for NOT enforcing federal laws. Guess who is going to win that battle? Maryland is a snowflake state.
She is a bright one, no?
Pretty clear to anybody paying attention that trying to play the sanctuary card will get you and your state/city/town/etc financially trumped!
"Maricé Morales". Her name says it all. She is here in America, with an American job with the American government and she wants to take care of these illegals? She sees them as HER people, not us. Time to vote this scum bag out at the next election.
