Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin on Thursday asked why Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents cannot \u201cpick up\u201d illegal aliens from jail, failing to mention that Democratic elected officials put barriers in the way of agents.<\/p>\n

Raskin asked this question during the House Judiciary Committee\u2019s hearing, though he did not mention that members of his own party have banned cooperation with ICE. The hearing featured Fairfax County Commonwealth\u2019s attorney Steve Descano and Sheriff Stacey Kincaid who testified about sanctuary policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m curious, why can ICE not pick up, with its massive resources, why can they not pick up the prisoners while they are still being held, or right before they\u2019re about to be released or at the point of discharge?\u201d Raskin asked.

However, Democrats have repeatedly sought to prevent authorities from cooperating with ICE. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in January that he would rather detain illegal aliens in California jails than cooperate with ICE agents. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger banned her state\u2019s cooperation with ICE when she entered office in January.<\/p>\n

Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro invoked the 10th Amendment to challenge the legality of ICE operations and called for theme them to cease. He argued ICE\u2019s actions were \u201coutside the bounds\u201d of the Constitution and represented illegal overreach by federal authorities. Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called ICE the \u201cmodern-day gestapo\u201d during a commencement speech in May 2025.<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice (DOJ) launched an investigation into whether Descano\u2019s office offered preferential treatment to illegal alien defendants and discriminated against American citizens. The investigation stems from information that his office had adopted a in 2020 that would \u201cconsider immigration consequences where possible\u201d and that \u201cprosecutors shall consider \u2026 the collateral immigration consequences of the specific crime(s) the defendant is charged with[.]\u201d<\/p>\n

During the hearing, David Bier from the CATO Institute testified that one in five residence in Fairfax County are or live with immigrants.<\/p>\n
