Plain-English Summary

This bill would restrict Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from operating in Washington County, Maryland, likely by limiting their access to local facilities or requiring local cooperation before they can conduct enforcement activities there. The measure would affect both undocumented immigrants living in the county and ICE agents who currently conduct immigration enforcement operations in the area. The bill reflects a broader debate over whether local governments should help federal immigration authorities or maintain independence from federal enforcement efforts.
