If Elected As County Executive, Del. McDonough's First Move Is Turning Back Sanctuary Policies

Del. Pat McDonough made it clear that he is running for Baltimore County Executive in 2018.

On The Jimmy Mathis Show, McDonough elaborated on what he'd do on the first day of office.

"Although very few people know this, he [Kevin Kamenetz] has created Baltimore County into becoming a sanctuary county," he said on the Saturday morning program. "The first thing we are going to do on the first day of office is abolish his formal letters to the county and his directive to the county police department and eliminate his sanctuary policies."

McDonough, who has been outspoken against illegal immigration and sanctuary status, is relieved that President Donald Trump understands the rule of law.

"Finally, we have a president who understands, as I do, you need to follow the rule of law in this country," he said. "You can't selectively enforce what you want based on what you believe in as opposed to what the law says you need to do."

The Middle River Republican added that if elected, he would work with federal immigration authorities and will also be active with our police department.

In the segment, McDonough also discussed how Gov. Larry Hogan has not yet taken a position on the issue.
