Philadelphia Activists Call for Mayor Parker to Enact ‘ICE Out’ Legislation
Activists in Philadelphia are urging Mayor Cherelle Parker to enact 'ICE Out' legislation.
Philadelphia, PA, July 28, 2026 —
Philadelphia activists are calling on Mayor Cherelle Parker to implement what they refer to as ‘ICE Out’ legislation. The movement aims to sever ties between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement agencies.
Details regarding the specific provisions of the proposed ‘ICE Out’ legislation were not immediately available. The group of activists advocating for this measure has not disclosed specific demands beyond urging the Mayor’s office to take action.
The term ‘ICE Out’ generally refers to policies designed to limit or prohibit cooperation between local police departments and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Proponents of such legislation often argue that it fosters trust within immigrant communities and prevents individuals from being deported due to minor offenses or civil immigration violations.
Mayor Cherelle Parker’s office has not yet issued a public statement regarding the activists’ call to action or the ‘ICE Out’ legislation. The timeline for any potential consideration or decision by the Mayor’s administration remains unclear.
This push for ‘ICE Out’ policies is part of a broader national conversation surrounding immigration enforcement and the role of local governments in assisting federal agencies. Similar legislation has been debated and enacted in various cities across the United States.
Further information on the specific goals and proposed mechanisms of the ‘ICE Out’ legislation in Philadelphia, as well as any response from Mayor Parker’s administration, is anticipated.
