HARRISBURG, Jan. 22 – Four Pennsylvania House Democrats are introducing legislation to empower the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission to receive and document complaints from the public regarding civil-liberties violations by federal ICE agents and law enforcement agencies working with ICE. State Reps. Paul Friel, Greg Scott, Abigail Salisbury and Joe Hohenstein circulated a co-sponsorship memorandum today outlining their plan to protect residents and hold ICE accountable in Pennsylvania. “This is a failure of leadership at the highest level,” said Friel, D-Chester . “These raids are not making our communities safer, nor do they seem designed to accomplish that goal. The tactics employed by ICE officials are proving to be inhumane, ineffective and unconstitutional. We must hold accountable those who violate both their duty to the constitution and the rights of our community members.” The memo highlights a troubling rise in hostile and unlawful actions under the guise of “immigration enforcement,” citing examples from Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other cities where ICE has overstepped its authority. “The actions we’ve seen from ICE agents nationwide are traumatizing,” said Scott, D-Montgomery . “They’re horrific, and the federal administration’s refusal to acknowledge that is alarming. Residents witnessing civil-liberties violations currently have Read more

Harrisburg, PA – Today, Governor Josh Shapiro took legal action to demand the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) use billions of dollars in available, Congressionally-appropriated contingency funding to pay Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November amid the ongoing federal government shutdown and ensure nearly two million Pennsylvanians receive the critical food assistance they need to feed themselves and their families. Governor Shapiro joined a coalition of 24 states in suing the Trump Administration for unlawfully suspending SNAP. The lawsuit argues that while normal appropriations for SNAP have lapsed because Republicans in Washington — who control both Congress and the White House – failed to pass a federal budget, alternative funds do exist and must be used to fund the program. In Pennsylvania last year, approximately 714,000 children and 697,000 seniors relied on SNAP every month. “For the first time since the program began in 1964, SNAP payments have been halted across the country because the Trump Administration has decided to use critical food assistance as a political bargaining chip,” said Governor Shapiro . “That is unacceptable, especially when the USDA has billions of dollars in Congressionally-appropriated contingency funding on hand to fund SNAP and ensure millions of people don’t go hungry. Republicans in Washington need to come to the table and reopen the Read more
