Maryland: Baltimore City Council joins chorus against Obama immigration enforcement (Secure Communities Program).. Baltimore City Council tonight voted to adopt a resolution condemning a federal program that is key to Obama’s strategy to toughen enforcement of immigration laws, joining a chorus of other states and law enforcement agencies across the country in rebuffing the initiative. According to a press release from CASA OF MARYLAND, the non-binding resolution calls for a suspension of the "Secure Communities" program, which the council says is "undermining public safety in the city for everyone" by mostly deporting people who have not committed an infraction. It was introduced by City Councilman Jim Kraft, who represents Southeast Baltimore.
