Hogan says Maryland police will ‘ignore’ new law prohibiting them from working with ICE
Larry Hogan says local police will defy a new Maryland law banning ICE detentions, citing obligations to detain violent criminals requested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- On Thursday, Larry Hogan, former Maryland governor and Republican U.S. Senate nominee, said local law enforcement in Maryland are planning to ignore the state ban on ICE partnerships at the Politico Governor's Summit in Washington, D.C.
- The emergency bill signed by Wes Moore, Governor of Maryland , prohibits new partnerships allowing 48-hour detentions and phases out existing agreements by July.
- Hogan added that the Democratic Party spent millions to try to stop him and he repeatedly asserted he does not answer to the Democratic Party or party bosses.
- After signing the bill, Governor Wes Moore pledged to continue coordinating with ICE on lawful removal of noncitizen offenders, stating he answers to the People of Maryland.
- Maryland's move follows recent bans in New Mexico and Maine and existing restrictions in California, Illinois and Washington, while Virginia terminated state-level ICE agreements earlier this year.
