While Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter attempts to makes an 11th hour move to roll back Philadelphia’s local anti-deportation Executive Order, Philadelphia City Councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez issued a statement supporting the campaign to maintain the Executive Order as is. We appreciate the Councilwoman’s leadership and support of putting immigrant families before politics. She notes that our city has “made immense progress in rebuilding trust and improving overall public safety in our city,” and we couldn’t agree more.
Thank you, Councilwoman Quinones Sanchez, for standing with immigrant families and their allies against deportations!
