Montgomery County's policy is not to inquire about anyone's immigration status, nor does the County conduct any immigration enforcement or investigations. We believe that this is the right balance for this County.
Montgomery County is not a "sanctuary" jurisdiction. Local police and the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation work cooperatively with ICE in their work on immigration and customs violations and drug and human trafficking. The County's arrest and detention information goes to the State and all State information is accessed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through their Secure Communities initiative.
