The Pennsylvania Governor sat down with Raddatz for a one-on-one interview that aired on Sunday, speaking about various topics, including the potential deployment of ICE agents in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

He said in January that Pennsylvania communities, particularly Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Lancaster, were already preparing for potential operations. <\/a><\/p>\n With ICE announcing the purchase of two warehouses in Pennsylvania<\/a> and President Trump speaking more about plans to deploy ICE agents in additional cities, Shapiro is doubling down.<\/p>\n During Sunday\u2019s episode of This Week, Shapiro said his administration is prepared for a range of emergencies, from weather to the deployment of federal agents in Pennsylvania communities.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are prepared. I will tell you, governors prepare for all kinds of emergencies \u2013 for a weather emergency or, God forbid, a terrorist incident or a shooting, awful things like that,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cWe are now preparing, should the federal government, against our will, deploy federal officials into our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
