The population change is just a switch in how they count prisoners. Nice how the Sun forgets their own stories.

What are you talking about Steve, in Montgomery and PG counties, the states attorney's office is purposely making deals that would give illegal migrants jail sentences just sort enough that immigration enforcement can't, under their current policy, deport them (from what I have heard...these are not nice guys either)...and our mayor has worked to make it so police in our city can't ask about someone's legal status.

Maryland isn't a sanctuary state but it does have some sanctuary cities.
Sorry Freddy, I don't have the amazing Super Power to be able to look at anybody and tell whether they are undocumented or not.
