Maryland Determined to Kill Off Critical Resource for Sheriffs and Public Safety
April 03, 2025
No one can say Maryland hasn’t done a thorough job of accommodating illegal aliens. Over the years, sanctuary policies have taken hold in this blue state’s various cities and towns, including all of Baltimore. Driver’s licenses and in-state tuition and financial aid are available regardless of immigration status, while powerful special interests have been allowed to institutionalize regional day-labor centers. If the objective was to establish itself as a preferred destination for illegal aliens, the state outdid itself; 361,000 illegal aliens including their U.S.-born children now reside in Maryland (costing taxpayers $2.9 billion annually).
For mass immigration advocates, however, it’s never enough and the job is never done. Thus, Maryland Democrats are busy with a new task – trying to kill off 287(g) agreements that currently exist in Cecil, Harford, Frederick, Carroll, Garrett, St. Mary’s, and Washington Counties.
287(g) — so named for the section of the Immigration and Nationality Act that authorized it — is a voluntary federal program that trains local law enforcement agencies to properly assist immigration officials. Over 425 agencies in the nation participate in one or more of three agreement types, all of which help local law enforcement identify and process incarcerated and removable aliens with criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.
