Reporting ICE activity? A helpful way to remember the most comprehensive information to report and what’s useful to record is S.A.L.U.T.E:

• Size: “Around 10 law enforcement officers and 5 unmarked SUVs.”
• Activity: “Harassing random people on the street.”
• Location: “Norristown, outside the courthouse on Airy Street."
• Uniform: “Dark blue uniforms that say ‘Police ICE’ on the back.”
• Time and date: “12:45 PM, Thursday, October 9.”
• Equipment: “They wore helmets and had vests and batons."

Do not share any videos or recordings on social media or other public spaces. Instead, provide footage and details to trusted community organizations to determine the best way to use it. Save the unedited video on your phone, and on an external hard drive/cloud storage for backup without changing the file name.

As Pennsylvania legislators, my colleagues and I have the responsibility to protect each of our neighbors. These are the bills I’ve put forward in the Senate to:

1.) Put every Pennsylvanians’ safety at the forefront;

2.) Enforce accountability for all law enforcement agents, and;

3.) Reestablish trust between Pennsylvanians and legitimate, local law enforcement agents in our communities:

Unmask ICE: No Secret Police – Senate Bill 1071, Cappelletti/Saval

• This bill would prohibit law enforcement agents from using face coverings to conceal their identities while acting within the scope of their duties in Pennsylvania.

Keep ICE Off Pennsylvania’s Property – Not Yet Introduced, Cappelletti

• This bill would prevent civil immigration arrests inside or within 1,000 feet of Commonwealth facilities and county courthouses without a judicial warrant, and allow anyone subjected to an unlawful arrest to sue.

I am proud to work with my Senate Democratic Colleagues to protect Pennsylvanians from ICE. Here are pieces of legislation my colleagues have introduced that I will fight for as a co-sponsor:

• Protecting PA Police – Senate Bill 1117, Haywood
  • This bill would prevent President Trump from commandeering the resources and manpower of Pennsylvania local law enforcement agencies.
• Welcoming Schools: Ensuring PA Schools are Safe Places for All Students – Senate Bill 1125, Muth

  • This bill 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.
• Remedies for Federal Abuses of Power – Not Yet Introduced, Saval/Comitta
  • This bill would extend the right to address violations by federal officials in state courts.
• Prohibiting Unlawful ICE Arrests and Detainments – Not Yet Introduced, Haywood
  • This bill would criminalize indiscriminate tactics of arrest and detainment by law enforcement acting within Pennsylvania.
• Resolution Affirming the Rights Guaranteed by the United States Constitution and Condemning the Use of Deadly Force by Federal Immigration Enforcement Officers – Not Yet Introduced, Collett
