Since the first day of President Trump's second term, his administration has implemented sweeping changes that impact Americans nationwide, including here in Maryland. Many of these changes have faced legal challenges, including from Attorney General Anthony G. Brown, who believes they violate federal and state laws and could harm Maryland residents.
Attorney General Brown is committed to holding the federal government accountable when its actions are illegal and negatively impact Marylanders. Our office stands firm in protecting civil and constitutional rights and will take decisive action against any attempt to weaken them. This includes defending voting rights, ensuring fairness in schools, combating discrimination in housing and employment, protecting immigrants from unjust treatment, safeguarding workers' rights, ensuring access to essential healthcare, advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community, and addressing any other federal actions that threaten the well-being of any Marylander.
Through legal advocacy, action, and oversight, Attorney General Brown remains a steadfast champion for justice and equity. His leadership ensures that Maryland continues to be a place where residents' rights are protected, regardless of shifting federal policies.
You can use the menu on the left side of this page to explore the many resources we have compiled to help you understand how the actions of the federal government may impact you. Some of these resources were written by the Attorney General's Office. There are resources on this website that were written by other state agencies or organizations that are separate from our office. We are making these available as a courtesy but are not responsible for the relevance, timeliness, or accuracy of the content of those resources.
Maryland is not passive in the face of federal overreach. Our state – through its people, institutions, and the Office of the Attorney General – will actively defend Marylanders' rights and respond to federal actions. OAG plays a crucial role in ensuring that federal policies comply with the law and do not infringe upon Marylanders' rights. This page serves as a resource for those seeking information about their rights and for anyone interested in Maryland's legal efforts to protect them.
