Immigrants Make PA Strong Rally in Harrisburg!

The Pennsylvania Immigration Coalition (paimmigrant.org) and our members are heading to Harrisburg on Wednesday, July 29 for a statewide mobilization to demand action for immigrant communities across Pennsylvania. Across the Commonwealth, immigrant families are facing increased ICE collaboration, detention expansion, and dangerous conditions inside detention facilities. PIC and our members have been calling on Governor Shapiro to resist ICE for years. Now, we are calling on the Governor to take administrative action to: - Issue an emergency removal order to shut down the Abraxas Child Detention Center - End collaboration with ICE, including giving ICE access to state databases and PennDOT information, and ending the enforcement of ICE detainers - Expand protections for immigrant communities, including challenging federal attempts to use state public benefit records for immigration enforcement and ensuring state databases collect only the information necessary to provide services At Abraxas, years of reported abuse concerns and new efforts to detain immigrant children there have made state action even more urgent. Governor Shapiro has the power to act now. He can use the full power of his office to protect immigrant rights in the Commonwealth today.
