Washington D.C. - What we have seen in Frederick over the past several days is deeply concerning. No family should be afraid to leave their home or feel unsafe in their own neighborhood. The safety and well-being of our residents must come first.
My office has been closely monitoring the situation, and I have been in direct contact with local elected officials and community leaders to hear about what occurred and the concerns residents have raised. also been in communication with Frederick's mayor and public safety officials to discuss the situation and determine what additional steps are needed.
I am especially disturbed by reports that ICE agents used force against Frederick residents. These allegations demand immediate answers and a full, transparent investigation.
Federal law enforcement has a responsibility to carry out its duties lawfully and safely-and the Frederick community deserves transparency and answers.
I will continue working proactively with local leaders, law enforcement, and community organizations to get those answers and ensure the safety of Frederick residents remains our top priority.
Constituents seeking assistance can contact my district office at (301) 926-0300 or through mcclaindelaney.house.gov . Residents can review my Know Your Rights guide for information on their constitutional rights when interacting with ICE and available legal resources.
