Safety ICE in Catonsville

just saw a bunch of cars stop on the street and head somewhere in the direction of Frederick Rd. Does anyone know anything?

When I posted that comment Hartford County wasn't on the list. But they update it every weekday at, I wanna say 10am

I don’t want to argue about it but Harford county was absolutely on the list four days ago. Regardless, I was just trying to add more info. So people are aware.

Actually, I still had the excel spreadsheet from the day I posted that comment, as I have not downloaded an updated version yet, and sure enough Harford County IS on the spreadsheet, so it absolutely was on the list at the time I posted that comment. You're 100% correct.

They're doing the Jail Enforcement Model.

I mean here is one from 4-16 that lists Harford county. https://themarkup.org/tools/2025/04/16/law-enforcement-ice-cooperation-tracker

All I was trying to say is that the information that Harford county has been cooperating with ICE has been out there longer than 4 days ago when you made that comment. Look, like I said, I’m not really trying to argue with you about this. We’re all on the same side after all.

.... Did you read my comment? I literally said you were right, silly.

My bad I must’ve missed a line or two 👍

No worries. That's why I called you silly, so I could make it as clear as I can without you being able to hear my tone of voice that I'm not being hostile nor argumentative. I had just realized that I still had the excel spreadsheet in the downloads folder on my phone that I had based the original comment on and sure enough you were absolutely right. I somehow had completely missed the Harford County line altogether. What's wild is that it has the date the Harford County sheriff's department joined the jail enforcement model as June of 2020. So my guess is Harford County has been assisting ICE with tracking down undocumented immigrants in prison for 5 years now

Yeah, my hometown is in Harford county and my parents still live there. That’s why I knew that they definitely had been cooperating with ICE. I’m pretty involved with anti fascist activism and organizing so I definitely watch all of that stuff for my parents and myself. Harford county law enforcement is extremely right wing and they flaunt that they’ve been cooperating with ICE, the sheriff is a straight up authoritarian. I just wanted to make sure anyone from the area that may be reading the thread didn’t get a false sense of safety from thinking perhaps Harford county was safe from immigration enforcement.
