🚨 Today the Department of Justice took aim at Maryland's hallmark sanctuary policy passed this legislative session, the Community Trust Act (SB 791). This reckless legislation will lead to more criminal illegal aliens being released into our communities, even if ICE has issued a detainer (with narrow exceptions).
The Community Trust Act would ensure that our state see more Rachel Morins, Kayla Hamiltons, and DaCara Thompsons - young women brutally murdered by criminal illegal immigrants who had previously been released due to sanctuary policies in other jurisdictions.

The Maryland Freedom Caucus not only vigorously opposed the Community Trust Act, but has led the chamber on the issue of immigration law enforcement for years. We applaud the work of the DOJ in reining in Maryland's dangerous penchant for favoring noncitizens over lawful Marylanders and look forward to seeing the so-called "Sanctuary State Act" fall.
Delegate @LaurenforMD's impassioned speech on the night SB 791 was debated:
Democrats and the media keep pretending there are just a few socialist radicals in their party. I call BS.
In Maryland, there is no meaningful difference between the Democratic Socialists of America agenda and what the elected Maryland Democratic Party in the General Assembly is actually passing.
Just look at what they’ve done:
- Climate Solutions Now Act (2022) — One of the most extreme Green New Deal-style laws in America, driving up your electric bills.
- Community Trust Act (SB 791, 2026) — A major sanctuary-style bill that limits cooperation with ICE.
- Fair Share for Maryland Act (2025) — portion added in budget language that implemented massive tax hikes on job creators, businesses, and high earners.
- Youth Charging Reform Act (2026) — Making it harder to charge violent juveniles as adults.
- Renters’ Rights and Stabilization Act (2024) — Including the Tenant Right of First Refusal, which gives tenants priority to buy rental properties before landlords can sell them to others. This bill tees up the next requirement: the "first right of refusal" for investment property to non-profits.
Make no mistake: these aren't just marginal ideas pushed by a few far-left extremists. These are mainstream Maryland Democratic priorities under Wes Moore and the Annapolis supermajority.
Stop pretending this is just a few socialists that can be contained.
Currently, there are two types of Democratic candidates: those who admit they are socialists and those who hide it. Either way, they all vote for it.
This is the modern Maryland Democratic Party.
🥵 PJM Interconnection Seeks US Department of Energy Emergency Order - AGAIN
It's like Summer Groundhog Day in Maryland. Power is in short supply due to extreme energy demands. Governor Wes Moore and his party could have fixed this by now, but instead he is running for president out of state.
The Maryland Freedom Caucus 4-Part Plan to Lower Electric Bills Now fixes this.
Moore Misery — @govwesmoore says he’s trying to undo the ‘status quo’ in Maryland. But, he IS the status quo! He has been governor for four years. Join @chisholmstrong & me for the Dumbest Bill in America!
Our statement on Primary Election Night 2026:
The results are pouring in throughout the state tonight. When the votes are all counted, we believe our endorsed candidates will all prevail.
These wins tonight are the first wave of the New Conservative Movement that the Maryland Freedom Caucus is building in Maryland.
We were proud to vet these candidates, put the Maryland Freedom Caucus brand behind them, and invest in fighters who will run toward the fire to put it out — not fan the flames of Wes Moore’s failures. Tonight’s victories are proof that conservative voters are ready for leaders with backbone, conviction, and a real plan to build a better Maryland.
PA is the #1 exporting state in the nation for net electricity, but we’re giving it all away to support blue state governors like @VaGovernor, @GovWesmoore & @GovSherrillNJ. Plus, they’re paying a lot less for our energy handouts, while PA ratepayers are paying a lot more.
“Marylanders are paying higher electric bills so politically connected nonprofits can get richer, expand payrolls, and call it ‘climate justice.’ That is not justice. That is legalized grift.”
In recognition for our strong defense of the 287g program and being a bulwark against pro-illegal immigration, the House Judiciary Committee invited the Maryland Freedom Caucus to the markup of the Shutdown Sanctuary Cities Act. Delegate Brian Chisholm (@chisholmstrong) is representing us this morning. We also submitted a letter of support for the bill.
