Upper Darby Draws Line on ICE | Philadelphia News

Upper Darby is rolling out a bold new ordinance to shield its residents from federal immigration enforcement — limiting police cooperation with ICE, banning raids on township property, and cutting ties with towns that partner with ICE. Fueled by rising ICE activity in Philly and community fears — especially after a Cambodian immigrant died in custody — the move reflects deep local anxiety and a commitment to protecting diversity. While exceptions exist for judicial warrants or clear criminal cases, the ordinance demands ICE agents reveal their identities and avoid masks, echoing Philly’s own rules. The township also vows not to deputize officers for immigration work and will label cooperating towns as “incompatible,” sending a powerful message about how local governments can assert control over federal enforcement.
