Requested Information
Dear Records Custodian,
I am a member of the news media and I am requesting copies of public records held by the
Howard County Public School System. I am a reporter for the Local News Network, a non-profit
news organization based in Maryland.
Under Maryland’s Public Information Act, GP §§ 4-101 through 4-601, I am requesting:
-- Any agency directive to Maryland employees regarding interactions with Immigration and
Customs Enforcement or any other federal immigration enforcement agency. I request
directives that have been issued since January 1, 2025. These documents might contain,
among other information, instructions on actions employees should take if federal agents
or cooperating state or local law enforcement agents enter their workplace seeking access
to employees, students, interns, customers or detainees.
In addition, please send electronic copies of any and all emails received by employees of
your agency that:
Include the keywords “ICE,” “immigration,” OR “federal law enforcement agent” in one
or more of the following email fields: to, from, cc, bcc, subject line or email body. The
listed keywords could be a standalone text string or a component of a larger text string.
