In Annapolis, the Senate gave a preliminary hearing to a bill on Thursday that would end the 287(g) program in Maryland. The program allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to work with local law enforcement to identify people in jail who can be removed from the country. Maryland Democratic lawmakers have proposed the bill to end the program. Baltimore County Sen. Charles Sydnor said the practice has to end. “That’s not the way we should be handling public safety.”The final vote in the Senate is expected Tuesday.
