"Our people must be heard when the federal government makes decisions that affect their health, their safety, and their communities," said Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a Democrat. He added: "The State of Maryland is filing this lawsuit because DHS must be held to the same legal standard as every other federal agency." DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The department plans to spend more than $38 billion in 2026 on detention centers as the Republican Trump administration seeks to ramp up its already aggressive immigration agenda.
