Maryland CASA, a group advocating for immigrant rights, is pushing for the passage of a bill that would restrict ICE agents from searching state databases without a warrant. The bill aims to prevent ICE from accessing information that could lead to the detention of immigrants without proper legal documentation. This initiative comes as a response to stories of undocumented individuals being detained by ICE after their information was reportedly found in the Maryland vehicle administration databases. Delegate Kathy Szeliga, a member of the Maryland Freedom Caucus, argues that ICE should have the necessary tools to apprehend known criminals. However, supporters of the bill believe that ICE should not have unrestricted access to state databases without proper legal authorization. The bill aims to protect the privacy and rights of immigrants while ensuring that law enforcement agencies follow appropriate legal procedures. Supporters of the bill hope that it will prevent families from being torn apart and ensure that individuals are treated fairly under the law.
