A dozen representatives from more than 60 organizations called on Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker’s administration to implement and enforce “ICE Out” legislation passed by City Council in April.
The group delivered a letter by hand to David Torres, director of administration for the city’s Law Department, and requested a meeting with the Parker administration by July 31.
“We’re seeing people getting killed by ICE, and the continued arrests outside the Philadelphia courthouse.
Many Philadelphians, including immigrant residents, don’t know the bills are in effect, said Vivian Chang, executive director at Asian Americans United.
The Parker administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
