Maryland is home to about 233,000 unauthorized residents, just over half from Mexico and Central America, according to estimates from the Migration Policy Institute.
The state also has about 4,000 "priority immigration" cases of the sort targeted in the new ICE crackdown — the fourth-highest in the U.S., behind Texas, California and Florida, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. More than 100,000 families with adults and children have crossed the border since 2014.
