In a stunning blow to the radical left's open-borders agenda, nine Maryland county sheriffs are openly defying Democrat Governor Wes Moore's anti-ICE "ban" – and state Democrats have admitted they're completely powerless to stop them.

The sheriffs, elected by their local communities, have made it crystal clear they'll continue cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to remove dangerous criminal aliens from their jurisdictions, regardless of Moore's virtue-signaling executive order.

This is exactly what President Trump's mass deportation operation looks like in action, patriots. While radical Democrat governors try to protect criminal aliens, elected sheriffs – who actually answer to the people – are choosing to stand with the rule of law and public safety.

Democrats Admit Defeat

What makes this victory even sweeter? Maryland Democrats have been forced to publicly admit they cannot compel these sheriffs to comply with Moore's sanctuary policies. That's right – their own legal advisors have told them the ban is essentially toothless against elected sheriffs who refuse to cooperate.

This exposes the dirty little secret about these grandstanding sanctuary policies: they're nothing more than political theater designed to appeal to the radical base. When push comes to shove, local law enforcement officials who actually care about protecting their communities will choose public safety over progressive politics every single time.

"These sheriffs understand their first duty is to protect the citizens who elected them, not to coddle criminal aliens to please some woke governor," said one law enforcement expert.

Governor Moore's impotent rage over this rebellion perfectly illustrates how out of touch these Democrat politicians are with everyday Americans. While he's busy pandering to the open-borders crowd, these sheriffs are doing the job Moore won't do: keeping dangerous criminals off the streets.

Trump's Agenda Unstoppable

This Maryland victory is just the beginning, folks. Across America, local law enforcement is lining up behind President Trump's deportation agenda because they've seen firsthand the devastation caused by Biden's border catastrophe.

The question isn't whether Trump's mass deportation operation will succeed – it's how many more Democrat governors will be humiliated when they realize their virtue-signaling policies can't override the will of the American people and the officials they elect to protect them.

Good for these sheriffs! I live in a sanctuary county and we've seen a 40% increase in drug arrests since 2020, but half these guys are back on the street within weeks because of these ridiculous policies. When will politicians learn that immigration laws exist for everyone's safety?

FINALLY some sheriffs with backbone! These men took an oath to protect their communities, not bow down to woke governors who put politics before public safety. My county sheriff better be taking notes.

Absolutely right! The 10th Amendment exists for a reason - states can't force local law enforcement to ignore federal immigration law.
