		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy has filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate the results of the June Republican primary, saying that his winning rival, Danielle Hornberger, failed to qualify for the ballot and that some documents were falsified and backdated to cover up a “conspiracy” to violate the law. He is also seeking a temporary restraining order and an injunction to keep Hornberger’s name off the November general election ballot. It was a bold move by McCarthy, who suffered a stunning re-election defeat in the primary to Hornberger, who garnered more than 60 percent of the vote in a four-candidate GOP contest. Hornberger, who has never held any elective office or substantive full-time job, is the wife of Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35) and has worked as a part-time district representative for US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1), who helped bankroll both Hornbergers’ political campaigns. But documents included as exhibits in the lawsuit which was filed in Cecil County Circuit Court on Saturday 7/25/2020, as well as materials obtained separately by CECIL TIMES under a Public Information Act request, show an effort to file potentially false financial disclosure documents on behalf of, or by, Mrs. Hornberger.

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The national shock and horror of last weekend’s mass shootings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH brought out the usual “thoughts and prayers” for the victims from a bipartisan roster of public officials, but that wasn’t good enough for State Sen. Steve Hershey (R-36), who represents Cecil County and three other Eastern Shore counties in Annapolis. Virtually alone among Maryland Republicans, Hershey has taken to Twitter for several days to call out racists and suggest that President Trump didn’t go far enough to address the root causes of the terrorism that targeted Hispanics in Texas. “I’m done with the thoughts and prayers. I’m done with the phony outrage from scores of politicians. I’m angry. I’m horrified. I’m devastated. Our American culture is suffering. Let’s call this what it is: A white nationalist committed an act of terrorism.” Hershey wrote on Sunday 8/4/2019. Later, after President Trump and others insisted that mental illness was the cause, Hershey observed, “How many more times are we going to use “mental illness” as the standard response to a mass shooting? That crutch has been worn thin. Here’s what happened in El Paso: a guy drove hundreds of miles and committed an [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams has signed an agreement with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to co-operate with ICE to identify and turn over Detention Center inmates who are being sought as illegal immigrants. But the county is not participating in a separate federal program that would rent out space at the county jail to hold people awaiting court decisions on immigrant status cases. In response to questions from CECIL TIMES, Adams acknowledged his agency’s new pact for participation with ICE and emphasized that his deputies would not be stopping drivers to inquire about citizenship status or actively seeking out people who might be in the US illegally. “This is just a matter of running background checks on the ICE computer system for people who have already been convicted on local charges,” Adams said in an interview with CECIL TIMES. Inmates would serve their court-ordered jail time after conviction in local courts, he said, and then turned over to ICE if they had outstanding warrants in immigration cases. “We do background checks on incoming inmates all the time,” Adams said. It is routine to check for outstanding warrants on state or local charges [&#8230;]]]></description>
