LA City Council approves Sanctuary City plan
The Los Angeles City Council voted to approve a motion Tuesday that would create an ordinance to make LA a Sanctuary City for undocumented immigrants.
LOS ANGELES - The City Council approved a motion Friday calling on various city departments to take the necessary steps for Los Angeles to officially become a sanctuary city for immigrants.
The motion, which was previously OK'd by the council's Civil Rights, Equity, Immigration, Aging and Disability Committee and the Public Safety Committee, instructs the city attorney to prepare a draft ordinance within 60 days to prohibit "any city resources, property or personnel from being utilized for any federal immigration enforcement."
It would also prohibit city cooperation with federal immigration authorities in "execution of their duties" as it pertains to immigration enforcement.
