Request Investigation of Federal Actions for Maryland State Law Violations

I am writing to request that your office investigate whether recent federal government actions have violated Maryland state law. These actions affect the safety, rights, and wellbeing of Maryland residents and warrant immediate legal scrutiny. First, I ask that you examine the purchase and development of ICE detention centers in Maryland. These facilities may violate state regulations governing detention conditions, zoning requirements, or public health standards. Maryland residents deserve transparency about how these centers operate within our borders and whether they comply with state law. Second, I urge you to investigate federal demands for voter data from Maryland. Our state has strong privacy protections for voter information, and any federal attempt to compel disclosure of this data may violate Maryland's election laws and privacy statutes. Protecting the confidentiality of Maryland voters is essential to maintaining trust in our democratic process. Third, I request investigation into federal attempts to limit voting access, including efforts related to the SAVE Act. Any federal action that restricts Maryland residents' ability to register or cast ballots may conflict with our state constitution and election code, which establish broad voting rights protections. Fourth, I ask that you examine the conduct of ICE officers operating in Maryland. Reports of aggressive enforcement actions raise questions about whether federal agents are complying with Maryland laws governing arrests, searches, and due process. State law enforcement standards must apply to all officers operating within our jurisdiction. Finally, I urge investigation into federal restrictions on Medicaid and special education funding. Maryland has statutory obligations to provide these services to eligible residents. Federal actions that undermine our ability to meet these obligations may violate state law and harm vulnerable Marylanders, including children with disabilities and low-income families who depend on healthcare access. I request that your office use all available legal tools to protect Maryland residents from federal overreach that violates our state laws. Please keep me informed of any investigations you initiate into these matters.
