PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said he welcomes a congressional hearing in Washington to discuss the Republican Party\u2019s criticism<\/a> of the city\u2019s immigration policies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m available next week, Chairman Jordan. How about the week after? We\u2019ve got a lot of weeks before November, Chairman Jordan, let\u2019s go!\u201d Krasner said.<\/p>\n

The Republican Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, sent a letter to Krasner, the police commissioner and the sheriff that read, \u201cWe write to request information about your office\u2019s sanctuary policies, which ultimately endanger the communities you serve.”<\/p>\n

Krasner said, \u201cIn essence, this letter accuses the Philadelphia DA’s office of increasing crime. We all know that is completely false.\u201d<\/p>\n

Krasner said he has spoken with the city’s attorney and the sheriff.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office had no comment. The city told our newsgathering partners at NBC10 the solicitor will handle a response to the committee\u2019s request. <\/p>\n

Last week, Mayor Cherelle Parker signed most of the package <\/a>of legislation that puts curbs on how ICE agents can operate<\/a> in the city. <\/p>\n

Parker signed six bills that mostly mirrored an executive order already in effect prohibiting discrimination based on immigration status, along with bills barring ICE operations on city-owned and community spaces.<\/p>\n

On the advice of the Law Department, Parker did not sign the bill that forbids law enforcement from concealing their identities through masks, covered badges or unmarked cars. The Law Department said such efforts have lost in courts because the city doesn\u2019t have authority over state and federal officers when they\u2019re carrying out their duties.<\/p>\n

However, the mayor didn\u2019t veto the bill, so it will become law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said he welcomes a congressional hearing in Washington to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":795939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,5410,114597,55839,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-795938","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ice","10":"tag-immigration-policies","11":"tag-larry-krasner","12":"tag-pa","13":"tag-pennsylvania","14":"tag-philadelphia","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116573276041564458","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
