Justice Department Sues Maryland over ‘Sanctuary’ Policies
The department says the Community Trust Act blocks state and local police from sharing custody information with federal immigration agents.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Maryland over the Community Trust Act, arguing the law obstructs federal immigration enforcement and violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

- Democratic Gov. Wes Moore allowed the measure to become law without his signature, while Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown's office declined to comment on the federal lawsuit.
- This suit marks the latest of 20 legal actions by the Civil Division against sanctuary jurisdictions, which President Donald Trump's administration contends impede its mass deportation agenda.
