Federal immigration enforcement

A former Hyattsville council member urged the county to move from a passive to an active stance against ICE, using police and legal tools to protect residents.

Asked the county to block ICE from using county property — parking lots, schools, parks, courthouses — for immigration enforcement, with signs and trespass enforcement.

Said pushback against ICE works, warned about the administration's broad 'domestic terrorist' definitions, and urged the council to get ahead of an ICE surge.

Asked for food security, rent relief, and know-your-rights resources for families affected by ICE detentions.

Demanded the county pass laws training police to check ICE warrants and IDs, and blamed the council for Kilmar Abrego Garcia's detention and deportation.
