​Ending 287g Agreements

Section 287g of the Immigration and Nationality Act allows police officers in local law enforcement jurisdictions to act a federal agents in the service of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Three Maryland counties have 287g intergovernmental service agreements: Cecil, Frederick and Harford

​

Trust Act

Although previously enacted Dignity Not Detention limited state and local participation with ICE, this proposed bill will close certain loopholes that currently allow Corrections Departments and police to transfer people to ICE custody.

​

Data Privacy

Previous legislation prohibited the MVA from working with ICE to identify undocumented people through their driver licenses, schools and other agencies may still share personal identifying data with ICE. 

​

Sensitive or Protected Locations

ICE currently operates under a memorandum that bars ICE agents from entering certain locations. The proposed bill will expand sensitive locations to include courts, schools, religious organizations.
