With the stroke of a pen, certain partnerships between local law enforcement and federal immigration agents are now banned in the state of Maryland.
On Tuesday, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed into law SB 245 and House Bill 444, known as "Public Safety - Immigration Enforcement Agreements - Prohibition."
"In Maryland, we will not allow untrained, unqualified, and unaccountable agents to deputize our brave local law enforcement officers," Moore said.
While Moore vowed to still keep violent criminals off the street, the new law blocks what’s known as 287-g agreements, which grant federal immigration authority to some local officers.
Tammy Nobles, the mother of Kayla Hamilton, killed by an illegal immigrant in 2022, spoke out against the legislation in an interview with WBFF.
“I don't know why Governor Moore is protecting all of these illegal immigrant criminals. He should be protecting citizens like Kayla," she said.
Some local sheriffs are outraged and vowing to fight back.
