The Trump administration is suing Maryland over a recent law barring state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The 33-page complaint, filed Thursday, seeks to have Senate Bill 791, or the Community Trust Act, declared unconstitutional and asks a judge to enter an injunction blocking the state from enforcing the law.

The lawsuit also contains two counts premised on immunity – alleging the Maryland law attempts to unlawfully regulate federal law enforcement and discriminates against immigration agents.
