Unfortunate development on the HB630 front.
The MD legislature has moved the committee hearing to March 11th. We don’t yet know why.
Every delay in the process of resisting ICE’s use of shipping centers for mass detention centers is unacceptable.
More to follow as we learn more.

The Maryland General Assembly passed legislation last week that bars local law enforcement from entering into cooperation agreements with ICE. Some advocates contend the new law does not sufficiently protect immigrant communities.

Happening TODAY at 1 PM — ICE Out of Baltimore County visibility event at Shawan Road in Hunt Valley. Show up and be seen. https://www.mobilize.us/indivisiblebaltco/event/904113/
ICE out of Baltimore County! · Indivisible BaltCo
Join us for a visibility event on Feb 15th from 1-2:30 PM to share that Baltimore County will not collaborate with ICE!
Recent reporting indicates that the U.S. General Services Administration has leased office space in Hunt Valley, across from the Hunt Valley Towne Centre, which has led to speculation about a potential U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) presence at 201 International Circle, though federal officials have not confirmed plans for the space. Baltimore County officials, including the County Executive’s Office, have said they are seeking clarity on what functions might occur there and have called for a County Council session to address community concerns and discuss possible legislation related to immigration enforcement uses.
https://www.thebanner.com/politics-power/local-government/ice-office-hunt-valley-BRTLTTNRNFC23H2PW5WGAHBPJY/
For more info on the space, visit: https://youtube.com/shorts/RpXS8Ku3ho8?si=zG4G1i-f4S5QJMu-
Join together on the sidewalks along Shawan Rd to show Baltimore County, Maryland, and the Trump Regime that we don't want ICE here.... period.
After joining us for this visibility event, please join us and pack the court during the Feb 17th County Council meeting (Time TBD) to support additional emergency legislation against use of Baltimore County spaces by ICE.
Indivisible Baltimore County supports and exercises the constitutional right to peaceful assembly and free expression. We do not condone violence, property damage, or actions that interfere with public safety. Each individual is responsible for their own conduct.
