WASHINGTON COUNTY, Md. — In this bright-red pocket of an otherwise deep-blue state, many of President Donald Trump’s positions are popular with residents, particularly his pledge to shut down borders and deport people who are in the country illegally.
Matthew Young, a 34-year-old truck driver who lives in the county, agreed wholeheartedly with the president on the issue. “He never made it a secret that he was going to have the biggest deportation in American history, from day one,” Young said.
