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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
