Ocean City Police would like U.S. Immigrations & Customs Enforcement to notify them when on the resort town

OCEAN CITY, Md. – WMDT has an update on how the resort town is dealing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agencies in the area.

ICE in Ocean City was discussed on the January 12th Police Commission meeting, and this is what was shared on the meeting minutes document.

Captain Eade told the commission quote:

“The department has been in contact, to the best of our abilities, with ICE to ask that they give the department notification when they are in town. There is a mutual understanding between the federal agency and the OCPD that they will notify when possible, but there are some instances where they won’t be able to. Captain Eade made it clear to the Commission that OCPD is not involved with ICE operations.”

The next meeting of the Police Commission will be held on Monday, February 9, 2026, at 9:30 A.M., on the 3rd Floor Administrative Conference Room at the Public Safety Building.

Ocean City Police tell WMDT that they are not in partnership with ICE currently.
