Pittsburgh mayor declares he will not cooperate with ICE on raids: 'People feel scared'
Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey emphasized Monday that his administration would not be working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest illegal immigrants.
Speaking to the Pennsylvania Press Club Monday, Gainey said, “I am not going to be working with ICE. My administration will not work with ICE. We will do whatever is necessary to make our city more welcoming.”
When asked, Gainey attacked ICE, claiming that it would not solve the ongoing immigration crisis.
“ICE is not going to end the situation of a failed immigration policy. It’s not going to do it,” Gainey said. “What it is going to do is create more situations where people feel scared. Where people don’t feel safe. Where people do things they normally wouldn’t do.”
MAYORS, LOCAL OFFICIALS COULD FACE ARREST IF THEY DON’T COMPLY WITH TRUMP’S MASS DEPORTATIONS

Instead, he encouraged pathways to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
“Change it through the legislation,” Gainey said. “We know what needs to happen. Where’s the appetite to do it right?”
Gainey made similar comments to CBS News Pittsburgh on Wednesday where he discussed working with local nonprofit organizations to assist people after President Donald Trump enacted several executive orders on immigration.
“We want to make sure that when immigrants are here they feel welcome. We want to make sure that they know we want to provide services for them,” Gainey said.
He also added that he did not believe that Pittsburgh police officers would be working with ICE officials in the near future.

“We don’t want no hate, we don’t want no division, we don’t want no evil, we want to make sure we’re creating a city where everybody feels welcome,” Gainey said.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Gainey’s office added, “Currently, the City of Pittsburgh has no evidence of ICE activity occurring within city limits and has not been asked to assist the agency in any way. ICE is a federal law enforcement agency that works outside of City control. Public Safety and the Bureau of Police will adhere to Bureau policies.”
Gainey follows several sanctuary city mayors pushing back on Trump’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigrants. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have all said they would either refuse to work with ICE on deportations or outright resist ICE efforts in their cities.
Not all Democratic mayors have attacked Trump’s calls for more deportations, however. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said last week that there would be full cooperation between NYPD officers and ICE.

“There’s no restrictions. Nothing has changed there. We’re going to continue to collaborate with all of our federal partners when it comes down to illegal behaviors,” Adams said. “I was very clear for almost a year and a half now, those who commit violent crimes in our city have violated their right to be in our city and in our country, and we’re going to continue to collaborate with those around criminality.”

GMC and their flagship Yukon brings all-around excellence with this week’s tester: the 2026 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate
This cousin to the Chevrolet Tahoe provides all of the space, comfort, style and luxury anyone could want.
In 2026, the GM brand worked wonders on their existing fleet and added nice trim levels to keep the competition always thinking about what they’re doing next.
Our Glacier White Tricoat tester was flawless and completely destroys the competition in the American Luxury market.
Known for its high MSRP and resale values, the Yukon Denali Ultimate has a base price of $103K and is powered by a 6.2L ECOTEC3 V8 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. With 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, our weeklong tester had a 8,400 pound towing capacity.
The Yukon Denali Ultimate had a slew of standard features including a 16.8-inch premium infotainment system, 24-inch wheels and a 15-inch head-up display. Upgrades include second-row captains seats, BOSE performance sound system with 22-speakers and Night Vision – all totaling an additional $7,090. Boasting a Woodland Mahogany interior, the Yukon Denali Ultimate is certainly classy for all consumers and exemplifies the American Luxury that GMC provides.
In Grasso’s Garage, the Flagship GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate is the real deal. It looks stellar, rides good, and has good values. Although pricey for most consumers, the usage in this category is second to none. I was able to fit six adults on our way to dinner and heard a ton of compliments on its comfort and style, in addition to its spaciousness.
The GMC Yukon has a long-lasting history in the fleet, and in my opinion, having the Denali Ultimate package added is just the way it has to be to experience its full offerings.
