Philly lawmakers want to limit ICE's reach. Here's what they are proposing

Philly, we’ve all seen what’s happening in Minneapolis. And many of you have taken to the streets in protest of the tactics ICE is using to deport undocumented immigrants — especially in the aftermath of the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Some of you are calling on our state and local government to protect Philadelphia and its nearly 76,000 undocumented immigrants from ICE – two Philadelphia City Councilmembers are answering the call. Jasmine Rivera, executive director of the Pennsylvania Immigration Coalition, said the goal of the legislation is ensuring that – quote – “not a single dime and single second of our local resources is being spent collaborating with agencies that are executing people.”
