Philadelphia Mayor Kenney fulfills his promise to the immigrant community and signs an Executive Order on his very first day in office, stopping all collaboration between Philadelphia Police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Less than two weeks after Mayor Nutter changed the anti-deportation policy for political gain, Mayor Kenney’s action returns the city’s policy to the original progressive policy from April 2014.
We thank Mr. Kenney for his commitment to immigrant families. We need a city that welcomes all of our community members, regardless of where they came from, and will keep fighting for all.
