[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo honors an ICE detainer request for as little at 1 hour, then cuts them loose. They also don't allow ICE into the secure portion of the jail to pick them up. (So they pick them up in the general public area of the jail = more risky for multiple sides.)

Frederick County honors ICE detainer requests for  24 hours, and does allow secure area access. Is that too much to ask that MoCo do the same?[/quote]

Yes, because it’s a violation of their 4th amendment rights to be held in jail on a civil detainer. Frederick county is defending itself in multiple lawsuits exactly for this issue. . [/quote]

Looks like they sued the police in Culpeper County and the judge threw it out. Here's a description of the case:

I realize it's from Heritage Foundation, so  if you are concerned they are biased, here's a link directly to the court ruling:

The only Frederick case I could find is this:

In that case, the person was pulled over for a traffic stop and asked her immigration status and they turned her over to ICE. No one in MoCo is looking for this. Instead, it's about those who were _arrested and in jail_ being handed to ICE when ICE requests a detainer.

You don't get arrested and placed in jail for a broken taillight.[/quote]

Culpepper county is not Maryland. Maryland’s Attorney General has issued a letter of advice that Maryland jurisdictions should not hold individuals in civil immigration detainers past their local release date, because the detainer has no probable cause a crime has been committed. And it constitutes a new seizure under the fourth amendment.  For people who care about Constitutional rights, I don’t get why you are selective on who has these rights?

Also, Roxana Orellana Santos successfully won a suit in court against Frederick County in 2017.

Defending lawsuits costs money. If you don’t care about the Constitution, maybe you carne about taxes. [/quote]
