The Trump Administration is asking a court to stop California from counting ballots from more than 20,000 people it has labeled, with little evidence or explanation, “likely” noncitizens.

I joined a coalition of 22 states and the District of Columbia in filing a brief opposing the Administration’s request. The Constitution gives states the authority to run elections under laws passed by Congress, not directives from the President. Courts have rejected similar attempts to take control of state elections, and my Office will continue defending the right of eligible voters to have their ballots counted.

Under federal law, immigration officers can make arrests without a warrant only when certain requirements are met, including determining whether someone is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained.

DHS routinely skips that check. I’m joining a coalition of 22 attorneys general in filing a brief supporting litigation challenging these arrests in Washington, D.C.

These enforcement practices affect families and communities across our region, including Marylanders. We’re urging the court to ensure ICE follows the law, just like any other law enforcement agency.

Congress created E-Rate in 1996 to help schools and libraries afford internet access, and it still provides over $3 billion a year nationwide. In Maryland alone, nearly 200 public libraries across the state receive about $800,000 a year through E-Rate to support internet services and some school districts depend on it for 90% of their broadband connectivity, including critical internet access for building security and HVAC needs.

I joined a coalition of 23 attorneys general in filing a comment letter urging the FCC to keep E-Rate in place. Eliminating or cutting E-Rate could not only violate federal law, but it could reduce internet access for students and the public, shifting the cost of protecting that access onto taxpayers. Additionally, the FCC appears poised to unlawfully condition school funding on educational outcomes. My Office will keep fighting to protect the programs Maryland students and families depend on, including opposing any attempt to unlawfully condition this critical funding.

Survivors of sexual violence deserve access to records about what happened to them. They also deserve to have their privacy protected.

I’m joining 14 other attorneys general in urging Congress to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act II. The legislation would give survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, as well as state attorneys general, other state officials, and members of Congress, the ability to go to court to enforce the law’s disclosure requirements.

This is about ensuring these survivors have access to information, protecting their privacy, and holding everyone to the same standard under the law.

Last night at The Factory in Baltimore, I was proud to accept MVLS’s recognition of the Office of the Attorney General as one of its 2026 Law Firms of the Year.

Through our Stephen H. Sachs Pro Bono Program, our attorneys and staff help Marylanders who can’t afford legal assistance. At one expungement clinic with MVLS, we helped 52 people in just a few hours.

Congratulations to Assistant Attorney General Natalie Jean, named New Volunteer of the Year, and OAG retiree Joy Sakamoto-Wengel, recognized for 20 years of volunteer service.

Access to justice shouldn’t depend on someone’s ability to afford an attorney. Pro bono service is a moral imperative.

As we celebrate being named a Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS) 2026 Law Firm of the Year, we’re also celebrating Assistant Attorney General Natalie Jean, MVLS’ New Volunteer Lawyer of the Year! In her own words, Natalie leads with empathy, understanding that being seen matters, being heard matters, and representation matters. Congratulations, Natalie, on this well-deserved recognition and your commitment to service beyond the Office.

Head Start and Early Head Start served 7,255 Maryland children in 2025. Now, the federal government is proposing to eliminate critical protections. Requirements for early support for children with disabilities would be eliminated. Non-English instruction would be banned. Class sizes could grow, with fewer teachers and reduced health services.

I’m joining a multistate coalition in opposing the proposed rule. Head Start is designed to help break the cycle of poverty in adulthood by meeting children’s emotional, social, health, nutritional, and educational needs now. That deserves our protection.
