State Roundup: Hogan vetoes bills banning local governments from aiding immigration enforcement; restaurant Association head sees threat in commodity price hikes
HOGAN VETOES ‘SANCTUARY STATE’ BILLS: Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed bills Wednesday that would have banned the state and local governments from helping with certain aspects of federal immigration enforcement, deriding the measures as “sanctuary state legislation,” Pamela Wood of the Sun reports.
The bill bans local jails from being paid by the federal government to detain people on immigration matters in Maryland. The other measure the Republican vetoed would require state employees to deny inspection of records or use of facial recognition technology by any federal agency seeking to enforce immigration law unless provided with a valid warrant, Brian Witte reports for the AP.
