Philadelphia officials met Wednesday to reinforce the city's responsibilities and policies on immigration and address the limits of their power compared to the federal government in light of recent executive orders signed by President Trump early into his second term.

With harsher policies looming, community groups told City Council that the city and its schools must stand up to ICE.

President-elect Donald Trump promised increased immigration restrictions and a closed border in the campaign that made him president. His inauguration on Monday could immediately usher in major policy changes that will have ramifications locally.
