HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Community members are invited to join formerly detained individuals, immigrant families, CASA, HoCo for Justice, Howard County for Immigrant Justice, Indivisible HoCoMD, Audelia Community Response Team and others in a march from Howard County Circuit Court through Main Street that starts at 6 p.m. Speakers will take the stage at 7:15 p.m. outside the George Howard Building in parking lot 3430.
According to CASA, Howard County subsidizes the detention of immigrants detained by ICE, paying $7 a day per person.

CASA claims it has found elderly, sick and other law-abiding individuals held at the Jessup detention center.
