  1. Baltimore Police internal affairs chief resigns

    The Baltimore Police Department's internal affairs chief is leaving the agency, a little more than a year after being brought on to reassure the public that a scandal-weary agency would get tougher policing itself, a spokesman confirmed.

  2. Driver's licenses for all drivers

    In Annapolis, some conservative Republicans — having apparently not taken notice of the 2012 election and the conundrum facing their party over its hard-line immigration stance at the national level — are lambasting a proposal to expand and make permanent a two-tier driver's license system in Maryland. One even warned that Maryland could soon become a "Disneyland" for illegal immigrants.

  3. Gun owners deserve more respect

    I am a gun owner, and in spite of <a href="http://bio.tribune.com/DanRodricks">Dan Rodricks</a>' view to the contrary, I am not "unmoved by the extension of mass killings into first grade classrooms," nor do I possess an adolescent attitude and do not "stream out of my man-cave." These are all pejoratives used by Mr. Rodricks in his column ("Let's be grown-ups on marriage and guns," March 28). In fact, I received degrees from two Ivy League universities and taught at a third. I target shoot weekly and at the side of a surprisingly large number of clergy, professionals, entrepreneurs, lawyers and judges, senior couples and retirees, most of whom share similar concerns.

  6. Lawmakers look past cuts to next budget battle

    Days after the Obama administration threatened widespread furloughs of government employees, one of Maryland's largest federal agencies, the Social Security Administration, said it might shoulder across-the-board spending cuts without sending any of its full-time employees home.

  9. Unlocking immigrant detention reform

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security now incarcerates, via immigration detention, more people per year than any other state or federal agency. In 2012, the DHS detained over 429,000 noncitizens awaiting immigration hearings or deportation, at a $2 billion cost to taxpayers. Yet the DHS' new risk assessment technology, which comprehensively and individually assesses immigrant detainees and collects valuable data, makes it possible for Congress to improve detention practices while reforming broader U.S. immigration laws. With this risk assessment technology &#8212; piloted in Baltimore and Washington since September &#8212; Congress can now effectively decriminalize immigration detention without increasing risk to the American public.

  10. Maryland police seek federal help to take ill-gotten gains

  11. Frederick County officials shouldn't be enforcing immigration law

    A Hispanic woman was eating her lunch near a pond outside her workplace when deputies from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office arbitrarily accosted her. They questioned her about her immigration status, arrested her and placed her in detention, where she remained for 46 days, separated from her 1-year-old child. This 2008 incident has been echoed countless times across the country, as local police officers &mdash; deputized as immigration enforcers &mdash; engage in racial profiling to fulfill their mandate to detain undocumented immigrants for deportation.
