The Montgomery County Council unanimously passed Expedited Bill 5-26, the Unmask ICE Act, on April 28, 2026. The bill prohibits federal, state, and local law enforcement officers from wearing masks or facial coverings while on duty in the county, requires identification, and mandates creation of an online complaint portal for alleged violations. The bill was amended to align with recently passed state legislation and will sunset once a statewide uniform masking policy is implemented, effective Oct. 1, 2026.
