Major D.C. suburb issues executive order to block local officials from cooperating with ICE
July 23, 2019 | Frieda Powers
An astounding new order in a D.C. suburb in Maryland is banning government officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement officers.
Montgomery County officials are now officially prohibited from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in a first-of-its-kind rule that now supports undocumented immigrants in the Washington region over the laws meant to protect legal residents.
The order, signed Monday by Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, bars officials from assisting ICE officers unless they have a court order or a warrant, The Washington Post reported. And any officials violating the Promoting Community Trust Executive Order will face disciplinary action.
