A county council member says the firefighters broke the Trust Act, which bans county employees from working with ICE, even as they faced a moral dilemma: help people in distress or follow the law. The scene unfolded when Park Police, collaborating with ICE, called for rescue after people jumped from a vehicle — firefighters were ready to act, but the county’s hands were tied. No one was rescued, but two were taken into custody and a third search was called off. Immigrant rights groups demand accountability, calling the operation racially motivated and a violation of local protections. Meanwhile, the County Council President commends the firefighters for their humanity — and vows to clarify that county workers are not ICE allies. Two drownings in the Potomac since June add a heartbreaking urgency to the debate. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
