Baltimore Mayor Scott's administration cut off Inspector General's IT access; Cumming said it jeopardized whistleblower confidentiality
On January 24, 2026, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott's administration, through the city's Office of Information & Technology, cut off Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming's office from administrative access to city IT systems and heavily redacted records subpoenaed as part of her investigation into the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE). The city said the access removal addressed a Law Department attorney-client privilege violation; Cumming said it stripped her office's ability to monitor who accesses sensitive systems, including whistleblower complaints and ethics files, calling the action "unprecedented."
