Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown released guidance this week to help health care facilities and law enforcement comply with immigration laws.

The guidance, which follows United States President Donald Trump’s 10 executive orders about immigration during his first week in office, emphasizes that health care providers and law enforcement officers should not inquire about immigration status during routine work.

“No Marylander, regardless of immigration status, should have to choose between their health and safety,” Brown wrote in a news release Tuesday.

Trump has pledged to carry out mass deportations during his presidency. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are already arresting more people, according to the Associated Press.

As of Jan. 20, the federal government no longer has a policy against ICE investigations at health care facilities after the Trump administration rescinded past guidelines, Brown’s guidance said.

The guidance aims to help police handle immigration enforcement “in a way that builds trust with immigrant communities.”

Brown and 10 other state attorney generals released a joint statement last Thursday that said local law enforcements will not be “commandeered” by ICE and will continue to investigate crimes, regardless of accused immigration status.

The health care guidance advises staff to record immigration officer credentials and contact legal counsel when approached by ICE in a facility. Providers should consult with counsel before disclosing any patient information to officers, the guidance says.

Staff reserve the right to not answer questions regarding patients under the Fourth Amendment, the guidance said, but cannot attempt to conceal patients or take any other investigation-interfering actions.

Health care providers do not have to allow ICE access to restricted areas unless officers have a judicial warrant or “probable cause in certain limited emergency situations,” the guidance said.

The attorney general’s guidance encourages health care staff to train employees on handling interactions with ICE officers, including informing patients of their rights.
