The legislation stops employees or contractors from asking about someone’s immigration status.
It also bans law enforcement action based on a person’s immigration status and prevents ICE agents from having access to people in city custody.
The city has seen some high-profile ice arrests in recent months.
In December, a scuffle between ICE agents and a suspect ended in a large police response on Mount Washington.
Controversy also surrounded an arrest made across the street from the Pittsburgh Police Zone 3 department in the last few weeks.
The chief says his officers did not intervene, but were also not given a directive to do so.
