SNOW HILL – State legislators this week voted to override the governor’s veto of a measure that will prohibit Worcester County’s jail from working with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
On Tuesday, the Maryland General Assembly voted to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of HB 16, which bans local jails from housing detainees for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Both Sen. Mary Beth Carozza and Del. Wayne Hartman opposed the legislation.
“In general, the people being held are being held for a reason,” Hartman said. “Many of them are rapists, murderers and gang members. They’re bad people and they deserve to be separated from their families, separated from society.”
Worcester County has been housing up to 200 immigration-related detainees through a contract with ICE since 1999. Revenue from the ICE agreement provided the jail with $5.1 million of its $9.2 million budget in fiscal year 2019.
HB 16, however, passed this spring and will prohibit governmental entities, including Worcester County, from housing ICE detainees. Hogan vetoed the measure in May but the General Assembly voted Tuesday to override the veto.
You got a real racist of a Assistant Warden there! She is nothing but garbage!
Does anyone know how the entire Eastern Shore Delegation voted other than Hartman and Corroza?

The AW is Shytina Drummond. Years ago she was in a all black motorcycle club called the Rough Riders. Now she is a member of the BLM movement, not surprising.
