Justice Department Challenges Maryland’s Sanctuary Laws in Court
· Texas Border Business
The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a lawsuit against Maryland and its Attorney General Anthony Brown, challenging the state's sanctuary policies that hinder federal immigration enforcement. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward emphasized that these policies violate federal law and silence the voices of American voters. Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate noted that such sanctuary laws not only contravene federal regulations but also jeopardize public safety by obstructing law enforcement operations. This lawsuit is part of a broader effort, with 20 similar cases filed against states like Colorado and New York, aimed at enforcing federal immigration laws.
