Watching the video, the officers at the end vocalize that not only are their body cams not on, they aren’t even wearing them. Awfully convenient, I’d say.

The escalation of ICE tactics in Baltimore, including staging outside of schools and now apprehending people on school property, is wholly unacceptable. Our thoughts are with the people now in ICE custody, and the little ones who had to witness this disturbing incident.

There remains no evidence that ICE required a Maryland county to sign an NDA prior to purchasing a warehouse there. With no shortage of real issues to scrutinize on the ICE detention front, this claim doesn't warrant further speculation.

Remember this story? The ICE official in question: David Venturella.

Stay safe, Baltimore. Multiple reports of ICE agents on Monroe and Liberty Heights in west Baltimore, on Park in midtown, and on Eastern Avenue between Highlandtown and Dundalk in east Baltimore. As always, you can make reports at the link below.

ICE has been using a Navy logistics contract to outfit detention warehouses with minimal oversight. New documents show it may want its own construction contracting vehicle — one that's faster and less transparent. @em-knepp.bsky.social, @ripest-plum.bsky.social, and @mwriston.bsky.social report.

This is the testimony our team will be submitting tomorrow in support of HB 630. We are providing this to other Marylanders to use for inspiration, or to model their own submissions on.
