President Trump is expected to issue an executive order today that will work to eliminate “sanctuary cities,” where municipal governments refuse to hand over undocumented immigrants to federal authorities. The order will triple resources for Immigration and Custom Enforcement and direct the federal government to identify criminal aliens in the US.
Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Baltimore City, Washington DC are all sanctuary counties/cities. As this policy develops, Nonprofit Montgomery will continue to share the impact on county resources and nonprofits who serve these populations.
