ANNAPOLIS, MD: "The Maryland General Assembly voted Tuesday to override Governor Larry Hogan’s veto of a measure that bans local jails from being paid by the federal government to detain people on immigration matters in Maryland. Separately, the House approved a new congressional map in a special session on redistricting, sending it to the Senate. The House and Senate, which are controlled by Democrats, also overrode the Republican governor’s veto of a bill that requires state employees to deny inspection of records or use of facial recognition technology by any federal agency seeking to enforce immigration law unless provided with a valid warrant.

Meanwhile, the House voted for a new congressional map for the state’s eight U.S. House seats. Democrats who hold a supermajority in the General Assembly control the redistricting process in Maryland, but Republicans have been supporting a separate map created by a commission whose nine members were appointed by Hogan. The House shot down a proposed amendment that would have substituted the map submitted by the governor for the one moving forward, which was forwarded to the legislature by a panel of four Democrats who voted for it, including House Speaker Adrienne Jones and Senate President Bill Ferguson, and two Republicans, who voted against it. The House vote sends the legislation containing the congressional map to the Senate, where a senators will take it up on Wednesday."
