Maryland is part of the ICE Washington, D.C. enforcement area and holds immigration detainees in county facilities. Our Virginia office serves clients detained in Maryland as well.
Maryland is part of the ICE Washington, D.C. Field Office enforcement area and plays a role in immigration detention in the Mid-Atlantic region. While the state does not have large dedicated ICE processing centers, several county facilities hold immigration detainees under agreements with ICE.
The state's proximity to Washington, D.C. and its location along the I-95 corridor make it an active area for immigration enforcement. Detainees held in Maryland may face proceedings in the Baltimore Immigration Court.
Maryland's federal courts have adjudicated habeas petitions for individuals in immigration detention, and the state's legal community includes organizations providing pro bono representation to detained individuals.
