Maryland ends local immigration enforcement deals

The law bans Maryland state and local governments, including county sheriffs, from signing deals with the federal government to enforce civil immigration law. It covers contracts, intergovernmental service agreements, and memoranda of understanding, including those under 8 U.S.C. 1103 or 1357. Any existing agreements end on February 17, 2026, using each agreement’s termination clause. The ban takes effect the same day.
