Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown filed an emergency motion on Tuesday seeking a 14-day pause on a renovation project transforming an enormous empty warehouse in Washington County into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that would house up to 1,500 detainees facing deportation.
The federal government, Brown argued, had not conducted required environmental impact studies on the Williamsport structure and was proceeding without public input or state consultation. Maryland sued the Trump administration in February to stop the project.”
