Reading May Become a 'Welcoming City' for Immigrants
Reading, PA, is considering a measure to formally bar its police from collaborating with ICE, making it a 'Welcoming City' for immigrants.
This move is not unprecedented, as several Pennsylvania municipalities, including Allentown, Lancaster, and Philadelphia, have passed similar ordinances.
- Other municipalities have policies that prohibit or limit cooperation with ICE.
- Cities like Bethlehem and Easton have opted not to adopt welcoming ordinances due to concerns about conflicts with federal immigration enforcement.
Despite potential risks, Reading officials, the mayor's administration, and immigrant advocates believe the benefits of such an ordinance outweigh the risks.
No specific statement is quoted in the given text.
