This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.

ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime.

Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

Three years ago, I was sworn in to be your governor using my grandfather’s bible and the bible of Fredrick Douglass.

Since then, we have moved Maryland forward by creating safer communities, protecting our neighbors and their rights, lowering costs, and much more.

We are leaving no one behind.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Sunday Painting 🎨

State and local parks.

Courthouses.

Covered bridges.

As I travel the state, those are three of the wonderful Ohio features I enjoy the most. And paint whenever I can.

Here’s the covered bridge in Hueston Woods State Park, in winter.
