Today's Terrible Judge: Jonny Olszewski

Baltimore County releases illegal immigrants charged with crimes despite federal requests, continuing its sanctuary city policy since 2017. Baltimore County authorities do not routinely detain illegal immigrants on behalf of federal immigration officials even if they are charged with committing crimes in the county, a FOX45 News investigation found.

When an unlawful resident is charged with a crime, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will usually file a "detainer" with local law enforcement asking them to keep the individual incarcerated until federal officials can take them into custody.

Baltimore County frequently ignores these detainers, according to data provided by ICE. Federal agents filed 81 detainers in Baltimore County between October 2022 and September 2023. A staggering 70% of those detainers were not honored, meaning the individuals in question were released before they could be handed over to immigration officials.
