The city of Philadelphia has announced that it will not renew an agreement that it had with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The arrangement allowed for access to an arrest reporting system used by Philadelphia.

Caving to progressive demands, the city of Philadelphia announced it is ending a major contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement sharing real-time arrest information.

The information, contained in Philadelphia’s Preliminary Arraignment Reporting System (PARS), alerts authorities when new arrests are made, and includes arrestee's full names, countries of origin, and Social Security numbers. While PARS does not indicate immigration status, Democrats charged that ICE nevertheless abused the database to investigate potential immigration violations.

Anyone who interacts with law enforcement is entered into the database, including those who are arrested, victims and witnesses, with some limits on what ICE officers can view. (FoxNews.com)

“I cannot in good conscience allow the agreement to continue,” Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney, who celebrated the city's sanctuary status last month, told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We're not going to provide them with information so they can go out and round people up."

The arrangement which has been in place for a decade expires in August. Philadelphia's mayor also renewed calls for the total abolishment of ICE.
