Maryland Community Trust Act Limits Local Immigration Enforcement Role
PIOApr 24, 2026
The Maryland General Assembly passed the Maryland Community Trust Act during its 2026 session, establishing statewide standards that limit local government participation in federal immigration enforcement. Additional measures passed include the Police Mask Ban requiring ICE agents to show their faces, the 'Unmask Hate' Act prohibiting use of masks to intimidate or harass, restrictions on private detention facilities, and data-privacy protections. County Executive Marc Elrich credited the Montgomery County delegation and Gov. Moore's administration for advancing these measures.
