The clock to protect families is ticking, Council Member of Frederick County, Maryland, Mason Carter, told the Washington Examiner, adding that blue states must adopt a “stronger presence” of federal law enforcement and stop the downplay of crime. 

“[Complying with the Department of Homeland Security] is a great idea. It is appalling. It is in our best interest to protect our cities, our families, and our communities. A stronger presence of law enforcement is certainly needed,” Carter told the Washington Examiner.
