The Maryland House of Delegates approved a revised bill aimed at interfering with how law enforcement cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
Tuesday morning, Gov. Larry Hogan released a statement in response to the Maryland Law Enforcement and Trust Act.
“The Maryland House of Delegates tonight passed an outrageously irresponsible bill that will make Maryland a sanctuary state and endanger our citizens," said Hogan. "This legislation would interfere with our state and local law enforcement's ability to cooperate with federal law enforcement authorities.
"I will veto this dangerously misguided legislation the moment that it reaches my desk.”
The bill will now move on to the Maryland Senate.
