Pennsylvania bill looks to limit local law enforcement, ICE collaborations
PENNSYLVANIA (WTAJ) — A Senator has announced she will be introducing legislation focused on limiting local entanglements with federal immigration enforcement. The bill, authored by Sen. Nikil Saval, argues that residents who call 9-1-1 to report a crime cannot and should not fear that they will then be arrested themselves. Therefore, Saval's legislation would prohibit local law enforcement resources from being used for civil immigration enforcement, including inquiring about status, arresting or detaining individuals without criminal warrants and sharing data. 'Whether your community is a densely populated city or a rural county, law enforcement is most effective when victims and witnesses of crimes feel safe communicating and cooperating with local authorities,' The legislation reads. 'This will not be possible if our local law enforcement is directed to do the work of federal immigration enforcement.' A 2019 survey of undocumented immigrants revealed that 'When respondents are told that local law enforcement officials are working with ICE on federal immigration enforcement, they are 60.8 percent less likely to report crimes they witness to the police [and] 42.9 percent less likely to report crimes they are victims of to the police,' according to the legislation. Another study done in 2024 noted that Latinos, including American citizens, were less likely to report crimes. Saval noted that the purpose of her legislation is to keep criminal law enforcement focused on criminal law enforcement. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
