Montgomery County will not follow Prince William and Loudoun counties in denying public services to illegal aliens, but neither will the county enact any sanctuary policies, County Executive Isiah "Ike" Leggett said yesterday.

“Monkey County” - A way of life!
Sanctuary by default.
I live in Montgomery County, Maryland, and would never vote for our county executive, Ike Leggett. He’s not interested in enforcing immigration law. He’s a half-baked liberal.
TYPICAL LIBERAL TALK
The socialist republic of Maryland will eventually be very sorry they have ignored the rule of law.
