MARYLAND: "The Frederick County Adult Detention Center is among the jails that will be prohibited under a new state law from housing detainees who await federal immigration hearings. State lawmakers voted this week, during a special session that ended Thursday, to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of a bill prohibiting the state and local jurisdictions from entering into or renewing immigration detention agreements. Delegate Vaughn Stewart (D), who sponsored the bill, said it would allow immigrants arrested for not having proper documents to return to their homes and be monitored with an ankle bracelet, rather than be detained. Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said the change will not impact operations at the local detention center, which has detained immigrants since 2008 under an Inter-Governmental Service Agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Detention and Removal. Jenkins said he supported the county’s involvement in the Inter-Governmental Service Agreement because of his support for ICE, the federal law enforcement agency whose stated mission is to crack down on illegal immigration and crimes committed by immigrants living in the country illegally. The new law requires existing immigrant detention agreements be terminated by Oct. 1, 2022."
