PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Phoenix city leaders are considering new restrictions on ICE or any other civil law enforcement agency.
The Phoenix City Council released a draft called the Community Transparency Initiative.
The proposal would prohibit ICE from using city of Phoenix property as a staging area, processing location or operations base without written approval from the city manager.
Back in February, the Phoenix City Council voted in favor of the oversight measures during a tense meeting that included shouts from attendees who said there should have been a public comment portion during the work session.
The measure would also expand tracking of ICE activity in the city, including collecting data on possible civil rights violations.
It would also train city employees on what to do if they encounter federal agents.
The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.
The Phoenix City Council will vote on the draft at its next meeting on Wednesday.
