Maryland HB675 requires local law enforcement agencies to enter into immigration enforcement agreements with federal authorities. These agreements authorize local agencies to detain individuals for up to 48 hours to facilitate their transfer to federal immigration authorities. The bill also establishes penalties for agencies that fail to comply, including responsibility for housing and court costs if an individual released in violation of the agreement is later detained. The Office of the Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and Policy is tasked with enforcing these requirements.
