Baltimore Sheriff Investigating Federal ICE Action Inside Courthouse
- On June 24, two ICE agents detained a person at the Baltimore City Circuit Court after being granted access by an employee from Pretrial Services.
- The enforcement followed a January DHS rescission of a Biden-era directive limiting immigration actions near courthouses, prompting increased scrutiny and internal investigations.
- Baltimore Sheriff Sam Cogen condemned the action as harmful and disruptive to courthouse safety and public trust, stressing courthouses must remain safe spaces for all participants.
- The Baltimore Department of Public Safety opened an internal probe into the Pretrial Services employee's unauthorized notification to ICE, who placed the employee on paid administrative leave.
- This incident risks deterring immigrant participation in justice processes, weakening public trust and equal access to courts, and officials aim to prevent recurrence through protocol reviews.
