WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A call for changes to a new policy enacted by the West Allis Police and Fire Commission. 

The ICE Out West Allis Coalition gathered outside the West Allis Police Department Thursday morning, asking for revisions to a procedure that impacts immigrants.

This policy was just approved last week by the West Allis Police and Fire Commission, stating that they do not need a judicial warrant before working with immigration and customs officials. That's according to the ICE Out West Allis Coalition. 

A judicial warrant is one signed by a judge who has reviewed evidence. It holds a stronger enforcement standard and allows a federal agent to enter private property. Meanwhile, an administrative warrant is one signed by an ICE agent. 

City and county leaders are asking for the West Allis Police and Fire Commission to review their new SOP, requiring a judicial warrant. 

Leaders say this would benefit community safety and public trust in our local law enforcement. 

"A judicial warrant standard would be the right step to protect our community, help residents of color who are statistically more likely to be targeted, and even keep our West Allis Police Department safer," said Pastor Stephen Boyhont, Mount Hope Lutheran Church. 

Leaders say they've spoken with some members of the commission and a few of them are reportedly receptive to the revisions. 

We've reached out for comment and a copy of the SOP but have not yet heard back. 

There will be a community informational meeting organized by the ICE Out West Allis Coalition on July 9. The following week would be the next meeting by the Fire and Police Commission, where city leaders expect them to discuss this policy and potentially make revisions.
