Immigration Enforcement - Expanding Sensitive Locations, Notification, and Guidance (Maryland Values Act of 2026)

Summary

The legislation prohibits school resource officers, school security employees, and other law‑enforcement officers assigned to public schools from conducting immigration investigations or providing student or employee information for immigration purposes, except when a valid court order is presented. It also expands the definition of “sensitive locations” to include public schools and sites that distribute food to people in need, and requires certain school personnel to notify the county superintendent if they receive immigration‑related notices. The goal is to protect immigrant students and families while maintaining school safety.
