The Community Trust Act bars correctional facility employees from asking about or investigating an individual\u2019s citizenship or immigration status or place of birth. Mr. Moore, a Democrat, said in a statement that the bill keeps local law enforcement \u201cfocused on the work that has helped drive Maryland\u2019s historic reductions in violent crime, while protecting the constitutional rights of Marylanders.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he said that it \u201ccreates ambiguities around joint investigations that we are working with the attorney general\u2019s office to clarify.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal law enforcement must also retain the flexibility they need to operate within the law, share appropriate information and keep communities safe,\u201d he said, adding that Maryland will not let \u201cuntrained, unqualified, and unaccountable [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents deputize our law enforcement officers to do immigration work.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the bill presents \u201creal implementation challenges\u201d to be addressed through executive action and next year\u2019s legislative session.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those reasons, I will allow the Community Trust Act to become law without my signature,\u201d Mr. Moore said.<\/p>\n

Under the Maryland Constitution, the governor does not need to sign a bill for it to become law. If a bill passes the state legislature and the governor takes no action on it within 30 days of receiving it, it automatically becomes law without Mr. Moore\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

The legislation, passed on the last day of the legislative session, prohibits state and local correctional facilities from detaining individuals at ICE\u2019s request without a valid judicial warrant. Correctional facility employees will also be prohibited from notifying ICE that an individual is in custody, unless the person is a convicted felon, a registered sex offender or meets certain prior incarceration thresholds.<\/p>\n

The bill complements emergency legislation banning formal partnerships, known as 287(g) agreements, between ICE and local law enforcement, signed by Mr. Moore in February.<\/p>\n

Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown told WBAL NewsRadio that he has concerns about the \u201cappropriate allocation of state law enforcement and correctional resources to addressing what states should be focused on \u2014 our most violent offenders, public safety, community trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the extent that regulations would need to be promulgated or internal guidance to the different facilities, or if the governor felt it necessary to issue an executive order to implement the provisions of the bill, we will work with them in order to make sure they, we, the state, get it right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The second, the Data Privacy Act, prohibits federal immigration enforcement efforts from accessing state and local agencies\u2019 personal information databases, including vehicle and school enrollment records. It will go into effect on July 1.<\/p>\n
