A Maryland lawmaker proposed ✅ banning agents recruited and hired to carry out Trump's mass deportations
from ever working in state public safety jobs.
“It says something about the morals of the person
— the character of the person
— if they see what’s happening on TV,
they see what happening in the streets
and say, ‘You know what? I want to join that,’ ”
said Del. Adrian Boafo
(D-Prince George’s),
the bill’s sponsor.
“Something’s off about that,” he said.

Boafo’s legislation would specifically ban ICE enforcement agents hired after Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20 of last year
from holding jobs in state law enforcement.
He conceived it after The Washington Post reported on the Trump administration’s planned
$100 million
“wartime recruitment”
strategy, he said.
The push to attract thousands of new agents targets military enthusiasts and people interested in gun culture,
using rhetoric that emphasizes messages such as “destroy the flood”
and “the enemies are at the gates.”
“These are the type of folks that were recruited, quite literally,
to just wreak havoc,” Boafo said.
