An immigration measure in Annapolis could cost Worcester County a chunk of change.
The measure would prevent governments from signing contracts to house immigration-related detainees.
WBOC reports that the Worcester County Government Office says that it currently earns around $87 for each detainee per day.
That has brought in $5.1 million to the county jail.
Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis denounced the measure calling a sanctuary bill.
But Toby Perkins with the non-partisan group Indivisible Worcester Maryland told the television that this was about pure racism and that he did not see immigrants as a threat to the community.
