Tell Shapiro to end state ICE collaboration NOW! Not a single cent of our state taxes not a single second of state employee's time should be spent in assisting a department with no regard to the constitution

And we call on the prison board to end the enforcement of ICE detainers. Last month, Dauphin County prison honored an ICE detainer, handed over a man to ICE who was sent to Moshannon Detention Center. Five days later, he was dead.

We know that MontCo can issue a resolution because their solicitor said so on May 15th!
