WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice announced the removal of Baltimore County, Maryland, from its list of designated sanctuary jurisdictions after the County signed a Memorandum of Understanding with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to collaborate on immigration enforcement.
The Department had originally listed Baltimore County as a sanctuary jurisdiction on August 5, 2025, under President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 14287. This marks the second jurisdiction removed from the list since its publication.
“Despite restrictions from state leadership, Baltimore County has shown a willingness to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement,” said Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward. “This is a small step toward restoring public safety and we appreciate the county’s commitment to updating its policies.”
