ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WBFF) - Maryland legislators are once again debating legislation which would restrict how local law enforcement officers and corrections officials handle illegal immigrants.
The bill would prohibit local police from questioning detainees about their immigration status.
But several sheriffs from Maryland and elsewhere converged on Annapolis to voice their opposition to the measure.
During a news conference, Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said to prohibit law enforcement agencies from inquiring about a detainee's immigration status puts the public at risk.
"These policies are dangerous restrictions on law enforcement and corrections, local public safety, and homeland security depend on the exchange of information. When we do that, we make the streets safer, we make your communities safer," said Sheriff Jenkins.
Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis says, "We want to make Maryland a sanctuary state, a haven for drug dealers, drug distributors and drug traffickers? It’s not going to happen on our watch. Come hell or high water, we will stand our ground.”

Mike Lewis no one believes you anymore!!! You talk the talk but you're no where to be found unless it's a grandstanding interview about Annapolis or Washington politics
Mike Lewis says he's going to fight this but supports all of Jake Day's progressive BS locally?? Mike you sound like Joe Biden talking out of both sides of your face
Maryland legislators and pure ignorant for even letting it get this far. This is so wrong and I hope it fails.
Lying Mike
Mike Lewis has been bought and paid for!! He made it evident when he hid sexual assault charges on Jake Day's wife
At least he said something, more than most will do, did anybody hear testify against this or any other Bill? Call or email your representative? Make time to fight the corruption now before its too late. The corrupt leaders in md and other hostile states are planning to bring illegal votes and yes the crime, these mixed with thwarting constitutional rights could lead to chaos and uprisings. They are hoping for lots of chaos before the election. The more discord and division, all the better to blame on Trump. We in md have suffered under no representation for decades. Like VA, the employees of all those government jobs are what keep corrupt representatives in office. WE must fight HARD the good fight, change tactics, stand firm, stand your ground. PRAY HARD. Pray for accountability, Pray for strict scrutiny rulings by the supreme court. Pray for good moral leaders to come foreword. PRAY.
Sheriff Lewis will do what he says......he be re-elected ever time he runs! He watches over the County for the best interest of all citizens not just a select few.....can’t leave it up to Culver, hiring more administrative people....lobbyists? Give me a break!!
Who do you serve? The public or the political class?
Yeah, stand his ground just like Virginia State Police.
