Montgomery County will not cooperate with ICE

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich aims to put distance between Maryland’s most populous county and federal immigration authorities by signing an executive order Monday.

Elrich said he wants to tell all county agencies that they are not allowed to ask people about their immigration status or cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“The Promoting Community Trust Executive Order aims to reaffirm current county policy and improve community security by ensuring that immigrant and otherwise vulnerable communities can engage with county departments,” Elrich’s office said in a statement.

Elrich will be joined by County Council President Nancy Navarro and other community leaders.

According to Montgomery County acting Police Chief Marcus Jones, the policy of not collaborating with ICE has already been in place.

So now individual counties can choose to violate any federal or state laws they choose? If counties can ignore laws then so can cities? And if individual cities and towns can ignore whats laws they choose...then so can individual citizens...

County Executive Elrich was also anti-Vietnam activist. Stated on his web page - I didn't make it up. He is very involved in "tenants" rights. According to his web site he is a builder. Seems to me that he wants to protects those tenants in the apartment buildings that he built. His financial investment in the community, his district. Must be up for reelection. Look it up. No wonder he doesn't want ICE in his Building. Just saying.
