Overview
- The seven-bill package would ban ICE agents from wearing masks, using unmarked vehicles, and staging raids on city-owned property.
- The measures would restrict data sharing, limit cooperation under 287(g) agreements, and codify Philadelphia’s welcoming-city policy.
- Councilmembers Kendra Brooks and Rue Landau plan to introduce the legislation Thursday after a City Hall rollout with District Attorney Larry Krasner and immigrant-rights groups.
- Backers say hearings are required before any vote, with the first potentially in about six weeks depending on scheduling and support.
- The proposal is modeled on ordinances in other cities, drew public support from several councilmembers, and received no immediate comment from DHS or the mayor’s office.
