The Unmask ICE Act (Bill 5-26) prohibits any law enforcement agency operating in Montgomery County from using masks or face coverings while on duty, with limited exceptions for legitimate health and safety reasons. Officers are required to display and, upon request, verbally state their agency affiliation, name, and badge number. Reports of masked ICE agents can be submitted via the county portal; information will be forwarded to the County Attorney's Office to assess whether grounds for a citation exist.
