💨 Abstract

Maryland lawmakers rushed through a watered-down bill (House Bill 1222) to protect immigrant communities, passing it with minutes to spare before the end of the legislative session on Monday. The bill includes language to help "sensitive locations" like churches and schools respond to immigration agents, but does not prohibit local police from acting as immigration agents in 287(g) agreements, as initially intended.
