Maryland lawmakers closer to passing roadblock to ICE deportation effort

The Maryland House of Delegates passed a bill that will prohibit agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) from entering sensitive locations without a warrant.

The legislation, Senate Bill 828, which will ban ICE agents from schools, libraries and churches unless the agency is able to obtain a warrant, passed the Democratic-dominated House of Delegates on a 98-39 vote. 

It now returns to the state Senate where, if approved as amended, it will proceed to Democratic Gov.
