Frederick Mayor Michael O'Connor of Maryland recently announced a controversial plan to establish a taxpayer-funded legal advocacy fund to defend immigrants who may be affected by policies from the new administration. The Democrat mayor emphasized the importance of providing legal support to immigrants to help them remain in the community they call home.
Mayor O'Connor's proposal comes in the wake of the city council's decision to grant voting rights to all residents of Frederick, regardless of citizenship status. The move aims to promote inclusivity and unity within the community, without creating division or targeting vulnerable populations.
