Support HB1222

The Maryland Trust Act (HB 1222) would prohibit state and local law enforcement from detaining individuals solely on the basis of civil immigration violations or supporting federal immigration enforcement efforts. This would protect immigrant communities and prevent racial profiling while allowing cooperation in cases involving serious criminal offenses. Protecting all residents, regardless of immigration status, promotes public safety by building trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities. I urge you to support HB 1222 and stand against unjust immigration detentions that tear families apart.
