Philadelphia Mayor Ends ICE Contract Despite Risk To Public Safety

DC: Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Martina White took Democratic Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney to task on “Fox & Friends” Monday over his decision to end a data-sharing program with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“It’s truly shocking that the mayor was willing to end a contract that was actually helping to keep our community safe,” White said on “Fox & Friends” Monday.

“Federal immigration officials were using this PARS [Preliminary Arraignment Reporting System] to access information about people who were previously arrested — who committed a crime other than being here illegally.”

ICE issued a statement to express its disappointment with Kenney’s decision and said it would continue with its mission, despite efforts to “obstruct” its activity.  WATCH
