Programs like 287g have resulted in increased civil and constitutional violations, reduced community trust of law enforcement, and even increased financial and legal burdens on local government.
We don't believe in prison for profit.
Instead of turning our law enforcement and corrections officers into immigration agents we should use our County resources to invest in our communities.
Why is this important?
County Executive Steve Schuh reiterated his eagerness to enroll Anne Arundel County into the failed 287g program this week. His move to utilize County funds to target immigrant and communities of color is a step in the wrong direction.
Help us tell the County Executive to do the right thing and withdraw the application.
