Press Sec. Leavitt: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore Signing a Bill Ending Law Enforcement’s Cooperation with ICE Is ‘Despicable’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “Well, first of all, it’s another despicable action by Governor Wes Moore. Why would you prevent your state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal law enforcement? If you just ask them, to your point, if you ask sheriffs across the country, if they want to have that level of cooperation and coordination with the federal government, of course they do. It makes their jobs easier, it keeps them out of hostile and dangerous environments. It allows them to detain illegal alien criminals who have committed heinous crimes in our country with the most safe circumstances possible. So, the president, of course, continues to always stand on the side of law enforcement, and this is another just horrible and, frankly, political action taken by Governor Wes Moore, and unfortunately the people of his state are going to reap the consequences of it.”
