Immigration groups rally Mayor Parker to defend sanctuary city protections
Immigration activists are pressuring Mayor Cherelle Parker to reaffirm and expand Philadelphia's sanctuary city policies.
Why it matters: President-elect Trump has pledged mass deportations, and his incoming "border czar," Tom Homan, is threatening to punish those who stand in the administration's way.
Driving the news: Immigration groups will rally downtown Tuesday, Human Rights Day, to demand that Parker take a firm stance on upholding the city's policies around protecting undocumented immigrants.
The rally and march will kick off at 1pm at City Hall, then move to a vigil outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office at N Eighth and Cherry streets.
