Urgent: Protect Maryland Families Before this Legislative Session Ends

Most recent signers:

The message:

The 2026 Maryland legislative session is coming to a close on Monday, April 13, and we have one final choice to protect our neighbors and stop Maryland's role in mass deportations. Every day that we choose to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), we fail our most vulnerable communities.

Local counties are voluntarily funneling immigrant neighbors into ICE custody through informal back channels. The Community Trust Act (SB 791) closes those loopholes and stops local officers from voluntarily facilitating ICE arrests, keeping immigrant families together.

Take Action Now: Senate President Bill Ferguson has the power to fix this. Use the secure form provided to email him immediately. You can customize the message to explain why protecting all Marylanders is important to you. Demand he pass the Community Trust Act today!

Subject Leadership Needed: Protect Maryland families

Thank you for moving Maryland toward banning formal 287(g) agreements. However, local Sheriffs are exploiting informal backchannels to voluntarily funnel our neighbors into ICE custody every day. Time is running out to pass this bill. We need clear and consistent statewide limits on ICE collaboration. To truly end our state's complicity in mass deportations, we call on you to pass the Community Trust Act (SB 791).

Message Body

Please use your power to protect all vulnerable Marylanders before this legislative session closes.

Sincerely,

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
