ICE: Prince George’s County Ignored Detainer Before Maryland Teen’s Killing

ICE says a detainer filed after a 2022 DUI arrest for the suspect in Da’Cara Thompson’s killing was not honored by Prince George’s County, renewing debate over local noncooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The case, now drawing state and national attention, fits a recent Maryland pattern of rising ICE activity and federal criticism of county ‘sanctuary’ practices. The suspect is being held without bail; an autopsy and motive are pending.
