Statement from County Executive Marc Elrich Regarding on Meeting with Local ICE Representatives
For Immediate Release: Thursday 12 September
Wednesday, September 11, 2019, County Executive Marc Elrich issued the following statement after his meeting with representatives from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Baltimore Field Office.
“There has been some confusion about Montgomery County policy when it comes to undocumented individuals charged with serious crimes and how we interact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). To clarify our policy, I met with ICE officials today at the Executive Office Building. While the meeting was generally introductory, I believe that the conversation was productive; and more discussions will follow. I continue to appreciate that Montgomery County is one of the safest and most inclusive places in the Washington Metropolitan Area and the rest of the United States.”
