INTERVIEW — DAN MCHUGH — Montgomery County Young Republicans
- Rockville considers new immigration enforcement rules. ROCKVILLE, MD (WUSA9) – A new ordinance in Rockville looks to define the way the city enforces federal immigration laws. The proposal would, in most cases, prohibit police officers from asking people about their immigration status. It would prohibit any city worker from discriminating against any person based on their citizenship or immigration status. Councilmember Julie Palakovich Carr introduced the ordinance. She said Rockville police do not currently ask anyone for their immigration status, but she added there is currently no such rule on the books regarding the practice. Palakovich Carr told WUSA9 it was important to make the city’s stance clear.
