· Texas Border Business
The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a lawsuit against Maryland and Attorney General Anthony Brown, challenging the state's sanctuary policies that hinder federal immigration enforcement. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward stated that these policies not only violate federal law but also silence the voices of American voters. Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate emphasized that such sanctuary laws ultimately harm the American public. The lawsuit claims Maryland's refusal to cooperate with federal authorities has negatively impacted immigration enforcement operations. This action is part of a broader effort, with 20 similar lawsuits filed against various states for obstructing federal immigration laws.
