Rick Su, professor of law, was quoted in a story in The Guardian about a county in Maryland whose sheriff has turned an arrangement with ICE into a fiscal and political goldmine that makes significant profits from housing detained immigrants. “This dependency [Ice] developed has opened up the kind of political fight you’re seeing in the county right now,” Su says. “I don’t think they want that. They don’t want it to be a local political battle, jurisdiction by jurisdiction, county by county, overlaid with all the concerns that come with that.”
