" Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley asked a top White House official that immigrant minors not be sent to a site that was under consideration in his home state, sources familiar with the conversation said.
"He privately said 'please don't send these kids to western Maryland,'" a Democratic source told CNN.
The heated discussion between O'Malley and White House domestic policy adviser Cecilia Munoz occurred during a phone call late Friday evening, sources familiar with the conversation added.
A senior O'Malley administration official confirmed the conversation took place. But the official stressed O'Malley, a possible Democratic presidential candidate, did not reject the idea of temporarily housing some of the children in other parts of the state."
Please see actual poll in my next thread! (I messed up posting! lol)
