City Council is Going After ICE. Here’s How.
from City Cast Philly · host City Cast
City Council acted last week on a package of bills to protect Philadelphia residents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and their operations in the city. The bills ban agents’ use of masks and unmarked vehicles, restrict their ability to operate out of city-owned spaces, and prevent Philadelphia police and other city agencies from assisting with immigration enforcement. Host Trenae Nuri speaks with the bills’ sponsors, Councilmember Rue Landau and Council Minority Leader Kendra Brooks, about the proposals and the fear currently sweeping through the city’s immigrant communities.
