MD Attorney General Anthony Brown responded to reports that the Trump administration has illegally provided Immigration and Customs Enforcement with access to the personal, sensitive data of Medicaid recipients: "This agreement is a grave breach of the public’s trust and a direct threat to the privacy and safety of families across our state. It undermines the core purpose of our healthcare system by turning it into a tool of surveillance rather than a source of care. By compromising the confidentiality between patients and providers, the federal government is jeopardizing the privacy of Medicaid recipients and placing immigrant families in an impossible position: choose between critical medical treatment or the risk of being swept into immigration enforcement." – AG Brown
