Mayor Kate Gallego discusses ICE, the light rail expansion, and more

On February 10th, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego wrote a letter to the city manager that proposed the council have 45 days to develop a transparency initiative. The letter comes after increased ICE activity raises alarm in the community.

The initiative would create a framework that documents information on federal immigration enforcement, ensure multilingual communication, and provides additional information.

In addition to talks of ICE, the City Council recently voted to end the Capitol light rail extension that would have connected Downtown Phoenix to the state Capitol.

Gallego joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the city’s plans for ICE, the ongoing light rail expansion, and a new non-stop flight to Taiwan.
