What Cracked? Leftist-Controlled Maryland County Stuns Residents By Striking Deal With ICE
Immigration,Sanctuary Cities,Justice Department,Baltimore County,Maryland
The Democratic Party's power grip on the Mid-Atlantic, particularly in Maryland, appears to be eroding.
Local headlines and a Justice Department statement confirm that leftist-controlled Baltimore County has been removed from the federal list of sanctuary jurisdictions after signing a cooperation agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The DoJ wrote in a press release that the county's cooperation represents progress in restoring public safety, despite state-level restrictions on federal immigration enforcement. The county had been listed as a sanctuary jurisdiction since August, a designation leftist County Executive Kathy Klausmeier argued was a mistake.
