Harford County has partnered with ICE for their
controversial program that allows local law enforcement to check the
immigration status of everyone it takes into custody. This program is already in place in about 15
other local jurisdictions nationwide. If you are here illegally and are
arrested for a crime or serious traffic offense in Harford County, police
officers will run your name through the ICE system. Previously, only immigrants
who are convicted of a crime or serious traffic offense risked having their
name sent to ICE. Now, there is a much greater risk of being deported in
Harford County if you are arrested for a criminal or traffic offense. If you’ve
been charged with a crime or traffic offense in Harford County, call Portner
& Shure today for a free consultation.
If you face DUI or DWI charges, or have been charged with a crime, our experienced Maryland criminal defense lawyers can help you understand what you need to know to protect your rights.
