This bill would close loopholes to protect personal data in state databases like driver’s license records from being shared with ICE.
👏Great work, team!
🎉 We are excited to celebrate the passage of emergency legislation this week (SB245) ending 287(g) agreements, which sent local police to do the work of ICE.

🏘️ We need more smaller, starter homes so that young families, seniors, teachers, and healthcare workers aren't priced out of our communities.
That's why we're showing up in Annapolis today to support the Starter & Silver Homes Act (SB36), introduced by @MDHousing.
Thanks to @MyBGE, customers are paying more than $2 in delivery charges for every $1 they spend on gas to heat their homes.
