Maryland group sues for release of records
"An immigrant rights group is suing the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office for documents related to its officers participating in a federal immigration enforcement program that has resulted in the arrests of more than 200 illegal immigrants this year.
Casa de Maryland’s lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Montgomery County Circuit Court, comes after three separate requests under the Maryland Public Information Act were denied earlier this year.
“We’re concerned the officers are relying on racial profiling,” said Justin Cox, a fellow on the legal team of Casa, a nonprofit organization based in Silver Spring."
