US EditionMaryland Sues ICE, DHS Amid Attorney General Investigation Into Conditions at Baltimore Facility
Maryland AG Anthony Brown alleges ICE and DHS ignored subpoenas amid overcrowding and denial of medical care affecting over 120 detainees daily at Baltimore's Fallon Federal Building.
- On 2026-03-12, the lawsuit asks ICE and DHS to comply with an administrative subpoena for Baltimore hold-room records, claiming their refusal violates the Administrative Procedure Act.
- The attorney general issued an administrative subpoena on Jan. 30, 2026, but ICE denied it in full on Feb. 25 and said it needed until April 6 to consider sharing information.
- A federal court found on March 6 that detainees are 'routinely held there overnight and in excess of 12 hours,' often for more than 72 hours, in conditions likely violating the Fifth Amendment.
- Brown filed an emergency motion to halt construction near Williamsport, citing a $100 million construction contract and requesting a pause of up to 14 days.
- Brown stated, 'The conditions inside the Baltimore holding cells have been dangerous, inhumane and unlawful', as Gov. Wes Moore criticized federal opacity.
