Baltimore County, MD - Nov. 1, 2025 - The U.S. Department of Justice has removed Baltimore County as a designated sanctuary jurisdiction, according to an announcement by the DOJ on Friday.

This comes after the county recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ICE to collaborate on immigration enforcement.

Back in August, DOJ published a list of sanctuary jurisdictions in accordance with President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14287.

The removal of Baltimore County from this list comes after work between the Administration and county, marking the second removal since the list was published.
