The Trump administration is suing Maryland over a recent law barring state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The 33-page complaint, filed Thursday, seeks to have Senate Bill 791, or the Community Trust Act, declared unconstitutional and asks a judge to enter an injunction blocking the state from enforcing the law.

The lawsuit also contains two counts premised on immunity – alleging the Maryland law attempts to unlawfully regulate federal law enforcement and discriminates against immigration agents.
Of course not. States are only allowed to assert state rights when it benefits Republicans or hurts poor/brown people.
