Council Hears Immigration Bill; Passage In Doubt

Members of the Baltimore County Council heard from more than 50 people who packed a work session on a bill that would allow Baltimore County corrections officers to be trained as federal immigration agents to investigate those in the county jail for possible deportation.

The bill, sponsored by the three Republican members of the council, would enter the county into the 287g program, where local law enforcement form a partnership with the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Similar partnerships are already in place in Frederick and Harford Counties.

Opponents of the measure held up green cards, immigrant rights activists and immigrants spoke against the proposal.

Never happen in MD with its Liberal Democrat reign. The people will have to vote out these socialist and that will never happen. We the tax payer will always suffer in MD because of these policies. Cutting the Politian's salaries / benefits and retirement then something will happen but not until.
