Stewart Calls on Baltimore County Residents  

to Demand Action by County Council on ICE Collaboration 

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Following Baltimore County’s announcement that it will collaborate with  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Democratic candidate for County Executive Nick Stewart is calling on residents to take immediate action to protect community trust and public safety. 

“Baltimore County’s partnership with ICE undermines community safety and erodes trust between residents and law enforcement,” Stewart said. “We cannot allow policies that make families afraid to call or help, or report a crime. Now is the moment for action — not just statements.” 

Stewart is urging Baltimore County residents to contact their County Councilmember and demand: 

1. Emergency public hearings with the County Executive, Police Department leadership, and  Corrections leadership; and 
2. A Council resolution terminating this agreement. 

“Our County Council has the responsibility to act,” Stewart said. “We cannot turn our backs on our immigrant neighbors. We must reaƯirm that Baltimore County is a place where families can feel safe,  supported, and respected.” 

Residents can find their Councilmember’s contact information at:
