  • York City Mayor Michael Helfrich vetoed an immigrant and refugee bill, stating it was the "wrong legislation at the wrong time."

York City Mayor Michael Helfrich vetoed a bill known as the "Welcoming and Access to Immigrants and Refugees" ordinance, which aimed to make York a sanctuary city for immigrants and refugees. The ordinance would have prohibited city resources from being used to enforce federal immigration laws, except in cases where individuals had committed serious crimes. Mayor Helfrich argued that the bill would create a divide within the community, potentially leading to legal challenges and financial burdens for the city. He also expressed concerns about the ordinance's impact on public safety and the city's relationship with federal immigration authorities. Despite the veto, supporters of the bill, including some city council members, are considering options to override the mayor's decision.
