Adolfo Sanchez-Reyes, 43, is being held at a Maryland detention center and was ordered to appear in immigration court, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “All parties were willing participants.”Last year, federal immigration authorities detained Sanchez-Milian on suspicion of being in the country illegally and let him go after 12 days, Jezic said. Montgomery County has a longstanding policy of not enforcing federal immigration laws. Meanwhile, Maryland is considering implementing a state law that would prohibit law enforcement from stopping, arresting or searching individuals to investigate immigration violations. Gen. Jeff Sessions said making Maryland a so-called sanctuary state would be “such a mistake.”“I would plead with the people of Maryland to understand that this makes the state of Maryland more at risk for violence and crime,” he said.
