After Maryland’s leaders revealed they had no coherent plan to curb Baltimore’s violent crime, residents surprisingly lashed out at one of the competent law enforcement agencies in the state.
Harford County, just north of Baltimore, began identifying prisoners in their jail who were in the United States illegally 13 months ago with dramatic results.
Cross-referencing those records with existing illegal immigrant criminal profiles has enabled the Harford County Sheriff’s department to identify some members of the ultraviolent criminal gang, MS-13 (RELATED: TERRIFYING Latin Gang Commits UNSPEAKABLE CRIME In Sanctuary County).
In deep blue Maryland, many citizens voiced concern that these tactics to fight crime could create a rift between police and their communities.
Neighborhoods where CASA’s director Elizabeth Alex warned that programs like this could breed mistrust in the police.
“There’s sort of this extra fear that immigrants will go further into the shadows and not participate,” Alex said back when the program launched.
Sheriff Sahler says if you don’t break the law, there’s nothing to worry about.
“As sheriff, I don’t want to return criminals to our community to further victimize the citizens of Harford County,” he said.
We should note that in the last six months Baltimore tried and failed on three separate occasions to go 48 hours without a homicide. The city’s most recent “Nobody Kill Anybody” weekend ended after a mere 45 minutes. Moreover, up to 2,000 MS-13 associates could be lurking in the Washington-Baltimore urban corridor, inflating drug-related crime, illegal gun trafficking, and murder rates.
