Justice Department sues Maryland to block sanctuary law
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit to invalidate Maryland's Community Trust Act. The department claims the state law unconstitutionally restricts cooperation with federal immigration officials. Acting Associate Attorney General Woodward stated that sanctuary jurisdictions silence the voices of American voters by shielding individuals from federal law enforcement. The legal challenge specifically targets provisions that limit how local police interact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Supporters of the litigation claim that Maryland's policies are reckless and illegal under federal law. They argue these measures compromise public safety by protecting criminal aliens from deportation. This lawsuit marks a significant escalation in the federal government's efforts to overturn state-level sanctuary protections.
