Pennsylvania State Police Become A Sanctuary Agency
In an apparent bow to media and political pressure, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) have adopted a new policy that significantly ties the hands of the Keystone State’s 4,719 state troopers and 1,850 civilian employees when dealing with possible illegal aliens.
Limits asking about immigration status inquiries to only people who are already the subject of a traffic stop, detention or criminal arrest, i.e., no asking when there isn’t already “reasonable suspicion” of a violation of state or local law and no asking, for example, passengers rather than the driver of a stopped car;
Prohibits detention or arrest based solely on immigration status;
Prohibits detention or arrest based solely on an administrative immigration warrant, i.e., an immigration detainer;
Declares immigration detainers not to be evidence of any possible criminality, i.e., they cannot be a basis for further investigation; and
Allows but does not require notification to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after an encounter with a possible illegal alien is over, but forbids detaining them until ICE arrives.
