DOJ sues Maryland over immigration sanctuary law



The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the state of Maryland on Thursday over a new law the department alleges interferes with the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration law.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court against the state and Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown (D), seeks to block the enforcement of the Community Trust Act, which went into effect in May after being passed by the Democratic supermajority in the state Legislature.

The lawsuit alleges the new law prevents local jails and state law enforcement from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“The Act’s purpose and effect is to obstruct federal law enforcement and thwart the constitutional obligation of the President of the United States to take care that the immigration laws enacted by Congress are enforced,” DOJ lawyers wrote in the complaint.

Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward accused Maryland and Brown of shielding migrants without legal status from federal authorities and violating the Constitution’s supremacy clause.

“When sanctuary jurisdictions enact laws to shield illegal aliens from federal law enforcement, it is not merely federal law that is violated, but the voices of everyday American voters silenced,” Woodward said in a statement.

The Trump admin should start shipping loads and loads of illegals to Annapolis, the capital of Maryland. And rich areas like Gibson Island, Potomac, Bethesda Hills, and Chevy Chase, among others. The areas around the Eastern Shores, where the Rich and powerful vacation. Let’s see how much the Elite Maryland Democrats like illegals then.

In a statement to The Washington Post, a spokesperson for Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said the state “will work with the federal government when that coordination makes our people safer.”

“While Trump’s ICE has ripped mothers out of cars and detained five-year-olds, Maryland’s law allows our law enforcement to continue working with federal officers to get violent offenders off our streets, remain focused on the work that has helped drive historic reductions in violent crime, and protect fundamental civil rights,” said Moore spokesperson Rhyan Lake.

That has nothing to do with the notion that Maryland law enforcement is not allowed now to notify ICE when they catch an illegal alien in the commission of a crime. Could be a murderer, rapist, child abuser, major crimes, and cannot contact Los Federales. That’s sick.
