NEW: Democrats stood down on an effort to ban Maryland sheriffs from joining ICE's 287(g) program, which empowers sheriff's deputies to act like ICE agents.
GOP sheriffs are rushing to join this ICE program, and Dems came close to stopping then. But they then gutted the bill with 20 minutes to go.

They've been biding their time until a MAGA President came into power...
Wes Moore can never be president
Why has this program withstood the Biden years intact?
This ain’t a GOP policy. It’s an American policy.
>agreed on a “sensitive locations” bill [requiring] public schools, libraries and certain public facilities to deny ICE warrantless access to areas that are not publicly accessible
The dems who capitulated will also be tried for their crimes during the MAGA Trials.
Dem leaders said openly they stood down because they were worried about Trump's threats and how he'd attack Maryland. So, what's the proper answer to that?
Radically depart from the societal apparatus that empowers Trump. Create a parallel system that protects against extortion.
There is no negotiating with Trump, any concession is seen as a weakness for additional exploitation.
When Trump is punched in the face, he runs away. See the tariff debacle.
If you make him matter, he will abuse you. If you shrug him off, he's helpless.
We are in an existential fight for democracy, itself. And Dem pols are obliged to fight. Or step aside.
Then dismiss them, and replace via immediate special elections with new reps who aren’t wimps.
That's the only right thing to do
Trump has been taking shots at them and Governor Mills has stood her ground and it hasn't worked his favor.
Other states could take a page out of her book.
unfortunately most dems are real big cowards
Maybe stop rolling over on command?

So it's ok to "not give in to terrorism" as an American motto, but bending over and pleading subservience from a FUCKING TYRANT is ok?
Pathetic Maryland dems. Fucking pathetic.
