Shortly after Trump took office and launched a reign of terror on immigrants, Montgomery County issued a proclamation promising to welcome the immigrant community. But to date, that promise has not come with substantive reform. This campaign will advocate for county legislation that commits county agencies to limiting their cooperation with ICE.
