Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.
That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!

287 bans create major logistical challenges for DHS. they will require many new contracts to create private transfer pipelines to move people into the antebellum south, where there are many small towns economically tied to dilapidated prisons, eager to accept work concentrating immigrants.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
