Episode Details

Howard County is defiantly appealing a federal judge’s ruling that reinstated building permits for the controversial ICE facility in Elkridge, despite the project being nearly 90% complete. The county had revoked permits in February and enacted emergency laws to halt construction, arguing against federal overreach — though their legal strategy was admitted to be flawed. Genesis, the building’s owner, backed by the Department of Justice, contends local governments can’t stop immigration enforcement. While Judge Adam B. Abelson sided with Genesis, Howard County is now taking the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit — even as Genesis has declared it won’t pursue further legal challenges. The battle over this high-profile immigration facility is far from settled.
