Any expressions of concern about ICE from the Parker administration are meaningless if they're allowing Philly police to actively assist ICE.

A quick search on LinkedIn turns up hundreds of people who work for 🧊. People should message them to tell them to quit their jobs. And shame them in front of their communities.

Philly never really defunded its police department, but the public disdain toward policing in the 2020 uprising era contributed to years of police under-staffing.

(Under-reported sidenote that historic lows in murders last year happened at same time that police staffing was lower than it had been in years)

Wild for Parker admin to be saying they can't give workers the raises they are demanding due to Trump funding threats when the mayor and City Council JUST LAST MONTH passed a huge 13-year business and wage tax cut plan. Those tax cuts alone could pay for the raises that DC33 is asking for.
