In a significant legislative shift, Maryland Governor Wes Moore has signed multiple bills banning formal cooperation agreements between local law enforcement and ICE, effectively terminating 287(g) immigration enforcement partnerships in the state. The move has drawn mixed reactions, with advocates applauding the decision as a victory for immigrant rights, while some law enforcement officials express concerns over public safety. Critics, including some county sheriffs, have vowed to continue their cooperation with federal immigration authorities despite the new law. Meanwhile, former President Trump is recruiting local officers in other states to assist with immigration enforcement, further complicating the national landscape of immigration policy.
