Baltimore's Fells Point ID Checkpoints Deemed Unconstitutional by Lawyers

Baltimore's Fells Point ID Checkpoints Deemed Unconstitutional by Lawyers

Baltimore has implemented ID checkpoints in the Fells Point entertainment district, a move criticized by legal experts as unconstitutional. The checkpoints, operated by private security hired by the Baltimore Development Corporation, aim to control foot traffic and enforce a curfew on weekends. Civil rights attorney Cary Hansel argues that this policy sidesteps constitutional rights, as the government cannot collaborate with private entities to deny rights it cannot deny itself. Todd Pugh, co-chair of the Fourth Amendment Committee for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, also criticized the checkpoints, stating that public sidewalks cannot be treated like private venues requiring tickets. The city claims the policy is narrowly tailored to address underage drinking and illegal activities, but critics argue it unfairly targets young people and violates constitutional protections.

Federal Judge Reinstates Building Permits for ICE Facility in Elkridge, Maryland

Federal Judge Reinstates Building Permits for ICE Facility in Elkridge, Maryland

A federal judge has reinstated building permits for a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Elkridge, Maryland, allowing construction to continue despite local opposition. The facility, located at 6522 Meadowridge Road, is intended to replace ICE's Baltimore field office and includes secured holding areas for detainees. The decision counters efforts by Howard County leaders to block the project, which had sparked public hearings and protests. The facility was nearly complete when residents first learned of it, prompting emergency legislation attempts by local leaders to halt the construction. The building's owner, Genesis GSA Strategic One, argued that their role was limited to retrofitting the building for federal use, with the federal government managing and operating the facility.
