Bill Targets MCPD Hiring of Former ICE Participants
GlassMay 7, 2026
Councilmember Evan Glass introduced the Continued Excellence in Public Service Act, which requires an enhanced background review for Montgomery County Police Department job applicants who participated in federal immigration enforcement on or after January 21, 2025. The legislation was developed in consultation with MCPD Chief Marc Yamada and is intended to strengthen trust between MCPD and the county's immigrant community. The bill adds an additional review layer on top of existing department hiring standards.
