Martin O’Malley: Don’t Send Border Children To Maryland Facility

Martin O’Malley says that deporting the children detained at the border would be sending them to “certain death” — but he also urged the White House not to send them to a facility in his own state.

Hours after the Maryland governor and prospective 2016 presidential candidate became the most prominent Democrat to criticize the White House on the issue, Domestic Policy Director Cecilia Muñoz called O’Malley to complain.

But before they hung up, O’Malley told Muñoz not to send any of the children to the facility in Westminster, Md., that the White House was looking at. It’s a conservative part of the state, he warned. The children were at risk of getting harassed, or worse, he said.

This only inflamed tensions between the White House and the Democratic governor who’s been trying to stake out room on the left for a possible presidential run.



White House aides confirmed the Friday conversation but declined further comment. But O’Malley aides say he’s been trying to find an alternative to the Western Maryland location, and there’s already one possibility at the preliminary stages of the process.

Locals. Beware of the boys boot camp out by the airport is vacant. It was temporary housing for the National Guard when their facility was being rebuilt. And you know how the local Democratic lawmakers down here suck up to O'Malley.

take a stand o'malley. "Can't send them back....can't send them here" and you want to be president? We got a wishy-washy one now.

My first thought was, "I bet he'll find a place on the Shore to send them."

This statement scares the heck out of me "But O’Malley aides say he’s been trying to find an alternative to the Western Maryland location, and there’s already one possibility at the preliminary stages of the process"
If they are looking for an alternative to WESTERN Maryland...guess we could be getting some new neighbors. PG county is already talking about building 2 new schools so they can teach them English.
