PITTSBURGH CITY COUNCIL URGING PA SENATORS TO VOTE AGAINST FUNDING FOR ICE

The Pittsburgh City Council is urging U.S. senators from Pennsylvania to vote against additional funding for immigration agents.

Yesterday, members passed a will of council asking Senators John Fetterman and Dave McCormick to vote against a federal spending bill that would provide over 64-billion dollars for the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would get ten-billion dollars of that money if the measure is approved.

Pittsburgh Councilwoman Barb Warwick says this would give ICE a “blank check” to expand their operations.
