Providence has started installing signs to prohibit Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities on city-owned property, following an executive order signed by Mayor Brett Smiley in January. The initial sign was placed at Roger Williams Park on Friday, marking the beginning of the city’s efforts to restrict ICE enforcement actions within its jurisdiction. This move reflects Providence’s stance on limiting federal immigration enforcement on local property, aiming to protect community members from potential ICE operations. The signage serves as a clear notification that ICE activities are not permitted on city property, reinforcing the city’s commitment to immigrant rights and safety. The initiative is part of broader municipal policies designed to create a more welcoming environment for immigrants and ensure that city resources are not used for immigration enforcement. The installation of these signs is expected to continue across various city locations in the coming weeks, signaling Providence’s ongoing dedication to this directive.
