On the Morning News Express, Bob Miller welcomed Chuck Jenkins, Sheriff of Frederick County, to discuss the impact of Wes Moore signing legislation (SB 245/HB 444) that bans state and local law enforcement from entering into 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The new law requires all existing partnerships to end immediately or by July 2026, effectively shutting down the program across Maryland.

Sheriff Jenkins, who had maintained one of the longest-running 287(g) partnerships in the country since 2008, explained that he has ordered his staff to cease all immigration-related duties to comply with the law. He and Bob discussed the next steps for the Sheriff’s Office, what the change could mean for public safety, and how the county will adjust moving forward. It was a timely and important conversation on a major shift in local law enforcement policy.

The Morning News Express is your weekday wake-up call from 6–9am, led by the one and only Morning Mayor, Bob Miller. You know the voice. The laugh. The stories. The legend. It’s the reason Frederick gets up and gets informed.

Bob’s been the king of morning talk in Frederick for 30+ years, holding down the WFMD fort for 27 of them. A proud Frederick County native, his roots run deep—son of the legendary local vet Doc Miller, raised on a 180-acre beef farm, and yes, he really did show cattle across the country. (Moo included.)

His resume is impressive, his humor even better. Senior class president and class clown at Walkersville High (Class of 1980), Bob also helped launch the school’s first-ever football team—the gritty “Mean 19.”

Off the mic, Bob’s a proud husband to Lynda (30+ years strong), a dad to Erin and Bryan, and a super-proud granddad to little Kaelyn.

Bob’s known radio was his calling forever, with stops at major stations in Baltimore and D.C. But Frederick is home, and every morning he brings his voice, wit, and community-first perspective to Free Talk 930 WFMD. He’s joined by great local guests all week to cover what’s happening in and around Frederick County, plus national reporters from Fox News Radio to break down what’s happening across the country.

As Bob’s mom says: “At least now I can finally turn him off.”
