Ashwani Jain: Police shouldn't ask individuals about immigration status

Unless individuals have violated State criminal laws or are under the authority of criminal warrants issued by the state or federal judges, I do not believe we should be working with ICE to detain/house non-violent individuals who have been placed in ICE custody. We must ensure that our law enforcement agencies do not ask individuals about immigration status or take action simply based on a person's immigration status.

Ashwani Jain: Advocate for Sanctuary counties & refugee right to counsel

In the past, I've helped organize the state to get the Maryland Dream Act passed in 2012, and was the first candidate in my 2018 Montgomery County Council race to advocate for Sanctuary County policies.I have also been vocal in my support for "Right to Counsel" laws that help refugees--who have come to Maryland--gain access to critical legal assistance with their valid claims to remain in the United States.
