Maryland House, Senate vote to ban 287(g) agreements - The Baltimore Banner

The bills would prohibit local governments and police departments from partnering with ICE through a program known as 287(g). Existing 287(g) agreements in Maryland allow correctional officers at local jails to ask for the immigration status of people who have been arrested, and to hold noncitizens for up to 48 hours to give ICE a chance to pick them up.

Eight counties in Maryland have 287(g) programs, and Wicomico County recently announced it would also partner with ICE.

Senate Democrats said the bill shows that Maryland will not work with ICE as it uses increasingly violent and invasive tactics.
