Pennsylvania lawmaker to propose bill that prevents ICE arrests near state facilities
Updated: 11:48 AM EST Jan 15, 2026
A Pennsylvania lawmaker announced plans to introduce a bill that prevents ICE arrests near state facilities, according to the memo. Video above: Headlines from WGAL News 8 Today.Senator Amanda Cappelletti is proposing legislation to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting civil immigration arrests within 1,000 feet of Pennsylvania state-owned or leased facilities unless supported by a judicial warrant or order. Cappelletti said the Trump administration rescinded a policy on Jan. 20, 2025, that limited immigration enforcement at certain sensitive locations, such as schools and hospitals, and replaced it with new guidance expanding where ICE agents may conduct enforcement actions.She argued the change has contributed to “reckless, warrantless immigration arrests” and a “chilling effect” on access to services, the memo stated. Cappelletti said the proposal is intended to allow residents to access courts, schools, health care, benefits offices, employment agencies and victim services without concern of civil immigration arrest. She noted that similar laws have been enacted and upheld in New York, Connecticut, Illinois and Washington. Cappelletti cited the legal precedent set by Printz v. U.S., which states, “The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program.” Cappelletti also cited recent court rulings that she said rejected Department of Justice challenges to certain state laws related to immigration enforcement, and she pointed to the Tenth Amendment as support for states’ authority to manage their resources. This bill has not yet been submitted for introduction.
