WEAA's Julius White has the local news.

A federal judge is denying the Justice Department’s request for a delay in Baltimore’s police reform consent decree process. And, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz has issued an executive order formalizing the county’s public safety policies in light of President Trump’s immigration orders. The order states that no Baltimore County police officer will ask about a person’s immigration status with a purpose of enforcing immigration proceedings, except in the case of a criminal warrant.
