The Trump administration is trying to strong-arm states into enforcing its extreme immigration policies by threatening to withhold billions in federal funding for emergency services and transportation safety.
Under Trump’s plan, state agencies would be forced to divert already scarce personnel and resources to help carry out federal immigration enforcement, even if it violates state laws or agency policies.
Here in Maryland, our laws limit state and local cooperation and make clear that immigration enforcement is primarily a federal responsibility. The Trump administration is attempting to force Maryland to act against its laws and threatening the safety of ALL Marylanders.

Attorney General Anthony Brown is fighting back in court to defend Marylanders from this unlawful power grab and ensure we have the resources we need to stay prepared for and recover from natural disasters and public health emergencies.
We will not be bullied into putting our communities at unnecessary risk. Will you join our team by chipping in anything you can today so we can hold the Trump administration accountable and continue fighting for hardworking Marylanders?
